Superconformal change of variables for N=1 Neveu-Schwarz vertex operator superalgebras

Superconformal change of variables formulas for N = 1 Neveu-Schwarz vertex operator superalgebras are presented for general invertible superconformal changes of variables. Using the underlying worldsheet supergeometry of propagating superstrings, geometric proofs of the change of variables formulas are given for the case of convergent superconformal changes of variables. More general formal algebraic proofs of the change of variables formulas in the case of formal superconformal changes of variables are then given. Finally, isomorphic families of N = 1 NS-VOSAs are derived from the superconformal change of variables formulas. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
