We apply the Lie algebra expansion method to the $\mathcal{N}=1$ super-Poincar\'e algerba in four dimensions. We define a set of p-brane projectors that induce a decomposition of the super-Poincar\'e algebra preparatory for the expansion.…
We generalize the worldline formalism to include spin 1/2 fields coupled to gravity. To this purpose we first extend dimensional regularization to supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in one dimension. We consider a finite propagation time…
