@@ -1804,26 +1804,26 @@ where the usual role of the determinant is replaced by the superdeterminant.
The superdeterminant can be defined using the ordinary determinant by writing a
block version of the matrix $M$. If $\mathbf e(1)=\{1,i\bar\theta_1\theta_1\}$ is
the basis vector of the even subspace of the superspace and $\mathbf
-f(1)=\{i\bar\theta_1,i\theta_1\}$ is that of the odd subspace, dual bases $\mathbf e^\dagger(1)=\{i\bar\theta_1\theta_1,1\}$ and $\mathbf f^\dagger(1)=\{\theta_1,-\bar\theta_1\}$ can be defined by the requirement that
+f(1)=\{i\bar\theta_1,i\theta_1\}$ is that of the odd subspace, dual bases $\mathbf e^\dagger(1)=\{i\bar\theta_1\theta_1,1\}$ and $\mathbf f^\dagger(1)=\{-\theta_1,\bar\theta_1\}$ can be defined by the requirement that
\begin{align}
- \int d1\,\mathbf e(1)\mathbf e^\dagger(1)=iI
+ &\int d1\,e_i^\dagger(1)e_j(1)=i\delta_{ij}
&&
- \int d1\,\mathbf f(1)\mathbf f^\dagger(1)=iI \\
- \int d1\,\mathbf e(1)\mathbf f^\dagger(1)=0
+ \int d1\,f_i^\dagger(1)f_j(1)=i\delta_{ij} \\
+ &\int d1\,e_i^\dagger(1)f_j(1)=0
&&
- \int d1\,\mathbf f(1)\mathbf e^\dagger(1)=0
+ \int d1\,f_i^\dagger(1)e_j(1)=0
\end{align}
With such bases and dual bases defined, we can form a
block representation of $M$ in analogy to the matrix form of an operator in quantum mechanics by
\begin{equation}
\int d1\,d2\,\begin{bmatrix}
- \mathbf e(1)M(1,2)\mathbf e^\dagger(2)
+ \mathbf e^\dagger(1)M(1,2)\mathbf e(2)
&
- \mathbf e(1)M(1,2)\mathbf f^\dagger(2)
+ \mathbf e^\dagger(1)M(1,2)\mathbf f(2)
\\
- \mathbf f(1)M(1,2)\mathbf e^\dagger(2)
+ \mathbf f^\dagger(1)M(1,2)\mathbf e(2)
&
- \mathbf f(1)M(1,2)\mathbf f^\dagger(2)
+ \mathbf f^\dagger(1)M(1,2)\mathbf f(2)
\end{bmatrix}
