Abstract: (Elsevier)
We analyse a class of integrable two-dimensional field theories with N =1 and N = 2 supersymmetry via the Lax, or zero-curvature, construction based on a Lie superalgebra. Some of the theories exhibit extended superconformal symmetries, generalizing the bosonic W-algebras. We also investigate the possible integrable deformations of these models and find that in some cases supersymmetry is broken and in other cases it is preserved.
