Abstract

Given an odd vector field QQ on a supermanifold MM and a QQ-invariant density μ\mu on MM, under certain compactness conditions on QQ, the value of the integral Mμ\int_{M}\mu is determined by the value of μ\mu on any neighborhood of the vanishing locus NN of QQ. We present a formula for the integral in the case where NN is a subsupermanifold which is appropriately non-degenerate with respect to QQ. In the process, we discuss the linear algebra necessary to express our result in a coordinate independent way. We also extend stationary phase approximation and the Morse-Bott Lemma to supermanifolds.
