Description
The super Mumford form is a section over the moduli space of super Riemann surfaces, characterized by invariance under the action of the Neveu-Schwarz action. In light of difficulties in performing integrals in superstring theory arising from the super Mumford form, it was suggested in the 80s that the relationship of the moduli space of super Riemann surfaces to the super Sato Grassmannian may be fruitful. Based on joint work with A. Voronov, I will discuss possible approaches to extending the super Mumford form, including our results on the proposed formula by A. Schwarz.
