Ectoplasm Has No Topology

Abstract

In a new approach to the theory of integration over Wess-Zumino supermanifolds, we suggest that a fundamental principle is their consistency with an ``Ethereal Conjecture'' that asserts the topology of the supermanifold must be generated essentially from its bosonic submanifold. This naturally leads to a theory of ``ectoplasmic'' integration based on super p-forms. One consequence of this approach is that the derivation of ``density projection operators'' becomes trivial in a number of supergravity theories.
