Abstract
We construct a supersymmetric version of the Wess-Zumino action in two dimensions. For a special value of the coupling constant gamma2 = 4pi/n it turns out that this theory consists of the original WZ action plus free fermions in the adjoint representation. By bosonization such a theory should be equivalent to a theory of two sets of free fermions. We study in some detail how supersymmetry is realized in these two theories. We further develop the general formalism for studying any two-dimensional quantum theory that is superconformal and super-Kac-Moody invariant, the SWZ theory and the particular free Fermi theory being examples. We generalize and apply this formalism to prove the equivalence of SWZ to a free Fermi theory.
