$N_K=1$ SUSY structure of chiral de Rham complex from the factorization structure

Abstract

We elucidate the comment in (Kapranov-Vasserot, Adv.\ Math., 2011, Remark 5.3.4) that the $1|1$-dimensional factorization structure of the formal superloop space of a smooth algebraic variety $X$ induces the $N_K=1$ SUSY vertex algebra structure of the chiral de Rham complex of $X$.
