Functional integral and the Feynman-Kac formula in superspace

  • D. V. Ktitarev

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for linear pseudodifferential equations in superspace. The solution is constructed in the form of series. It may be regarded as a definition of a chronological exponent of a pseudodifferential operator symbol and interpreted as a functional integral in superspace.
