Popis: We discuss consistency at the quantum level in the rigid $\mathcal N=1$ supersymmetric field theories with a $U(1)_R$ symmetry in four-dimensional curved space which are formulated via coupling to the new-minimal supergravity background fields. By analyzing correlation functions of the current operators in the $\mathcal{R}$-multiplet, we show that the quantum consistency with the (unbroken) supersymmetry requires the $U(1)_R$ anomaly coefficient, which depends only on the field content of the theory, to vanish. This consistency condition is obtained under the assumption that the supercurrent Ward identity is non-anomalous and that the vacuum is supersymmetric.
