[8] Here the superspace is defined for eight bose coordinates and not for four bose and four fermi coordinates as is done in superspace versions of supersymmetry theories (cf. P. Nath and R. Arnowitt, Phys. Lett., t. 56B, 1975, p. 177). The present work can readily be extended to the case of superspace supersymmetry by defining the N manifold in terms of four fermi coordinates with the basis vectors ξm satisfying { ξm, ξn } = { ∂m, ∂n } = 0 (see: J.W. Moffat, to be published in Lett. in Math. Physics).
