Higher contact-like structures and supersymmetry

Abstract

We establish a relation between higher contact-like structures on supermanifolds and the N = 1 super-Poincare group via its superspace realisation. To do this we introduce a vector-valued contact structure, which we refer to as a polycontact structure.
