Genera via Deformation Theory and Supersymmetric Mechanics

We study naturally occurring genera (i.e. cobordism invariants) from the deformation theory in- spired by supersymmetric quantum mechanics. First, we construct a canonical deformation quantization for symplectic supermanifolds. This gives a novel proof of the super-analogue of Fedosov quantization....
