Abstract

We find two classes of supersymmetry theories such that after Fermi-field integration and Bose-field transformation the graded partition function reduces to that of a free theory. We study theories with or without gauge symmetries and relate these results with the possibility of dynamical breaking of supersymmetry. Within these theories are N=2 and N=4 Super Yang-Mills.
