Abstract
We consider a Galilean \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) supersymmetric theory with F-term couplings in 2 + 1 dimensions, obtained by null reduction of a relativistic Wess-Zumino model. We compute quantum corrections and we check that, as for the relativistic parent theory, the F-term does not receive quantum corrections. Even more, we find evidence that the causal structure of the non-relativistic dynamics together with particle number conservation constrain the theory to be one-loop exact.
