Abstract

Adding a topological theta term to the action of N=1 D=4 super Yang–Mills theory modifies its Nicolai map. For the BPS value of the theta angle a chiral version of the map emerges, which allows for a considerable simplification compared to the non-chiral formulation. We exhibit these improvements to all orders in perturbation theory and compute the map to fourth order in the coupling on the Laudau-gauge hypersurface. The second-order contribution vanishes, and antisymmetrizations are more manifest. All checks are verified to third order.
