I am having a little trouble understanding passage from the linear to the non-linear sigma model in Section 4.1 of Supersolutions by Deligne and Freed. Most of my confusion comes down to the ...

A one dimensional complex supermanifold $X$ is locally described by an ordinary complex coordinate $z$ and an anticommuting coordinate $\theta$, $\theta^2 = 0$. The superderivative is the square root ...

This question concerns topological string theory. It was known sice its outset, that the BRST-cohomology ("observables") of the weakly coupled topological string B-model on a Calabi-Yau ...

This post is closely related to the post Localization principle in supersymmetry and can be considered as a continuation of it, although independent. In § 9.3 of the book "Mirror symmetry" (K. Hori ...

I am looking for an elementary but mathematically precise introductory text on supermanifolds in a modern differential geometric setting. Elementary in the sense that there is plenty of motivation for ...
