Supersymmetry and the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem I: Peierls Brackets, Green's Functions, and a Supersymmetric Proof of the Index Theorem

Abstract

The Peierls bracket quantization scheme is applied to the supersymmetric system corresponding to the twisted spin index theorem. A detailed study of the quantum system is presented, and the Feynman propagator is exactly computed. The Green's function methods provide a direct derivation of the index formula. Note: This is essentially a new SUSY proof of the index theorem.
