Abstract
The multiplets that occur in four-dimensional rigidly supersymmetric theories can be described either by chiral superfields in Minkowski superspace or analytic superfields in harmonic superspace. The superconformal Ward identities for Green's functions of gauge-invariant operators of these types are derived. It is shown that there are no chiral superconformal invariants. It is further shown that Green's functions of analytic operators in harmonic superspace are severely restricted by the superconformal Ward identities when internal analyticity is taken into account.
