One-dimensional quantum mechanical models obeying Smilga's weak supersymmetry are described in the matrix form. They are related to the parasupersymmetric and higher-order derivative deformations of the standard supersymmetric models…
For physicists: For supersymmetric quantum mechanics, there are cases when a mod-2 Witten index can be defined, even when a more ordinary $\mathbb{Z}$-valued Witten index vanishes. Similarly, for 2d supersymmetric quantum field theories,…
