Parisi-Sourlas supergravity
A manifestly diffeomorphism invariant exact renormalization group requires extra diffeo-morphism invariant ultraviolet regularisation at some effective cutoff scale Λ.

We show that the fluctuating fields form multiplets whose massmatrices imply that the fields propagate into each other not only with the expected 1/p2butalso through propagators with improved ultraviolet properties, namely 1/p4and 1/p6, despitethe fact that the action contains a maximum of two space-time derivatives.

Abstract
A manifestly diffeomorphism invariant exact renormalization group requires extra diffeo-morphism invariant ultraviolet regularisation at some effective cutoff scale Λ. This motivatesconstruction of a ‘Parisi-Sourlas’ supergravity, in analogy with the gauge theory case, where thesuperpartner fields have the wrong spin-statistics such that they can become Pauli-Villars regu-lator fields after spontaneous symmetry breaking. We show that in contrast to gauge theory, thefree theory around flat space is already non-trivial and in a sense already displays some spon-taneous symmetry breaking. We show that the fluctuating fields form multiplets whose massmatrices imply that the fields propagate into each other not only with the expected 1/p2butalso through propagators with improved ultraviolet properties, namely 1/p4and 1/p6, despitethe fact that the action contains a maximum of two space-time derivatives.
