Graded fibre bundles and unified field theories
Abstract
A gauge field theory is constructed in terms of connections over fibre bundles using a supergroup as structure group. Superconnections are imposed to eliminate ghost fields with negative energy but these break the conformal symmetry. The theory can be related to classical theory by use of suitable scaling factors: this leads to specified masses for the Higgs multiplet and the spinor multiplet.
