We show that Killing vector fields are infinitesimal supersymmetries of the superharmonic action and prove…

For the dual operator sgs_g'^* of the linearization sgs_g' of the scalar curvature function, it is well-known that if kersg0\ker s_g'^*\neq 0, then sgs_g is a non-negative constant. In particular, if the Ricci curvature is not flat, then sg/(n1) {s_g}/(n-1) is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian of the metric gg. In this work, some…
