Abstract

A supersymmetric path-integral representation is developed for stochastic processes whose Langevin equation contains any number N of time derivatives, thus generalizing the presently available treatment of first-order Langevin equations by Parisi and Sourlas [Phys. Rev. Lett. 43 (1979) 744; Nucl. Phys. B 206 (1982) 321] to systems with inertia (Kramers' process) and beyond. The supersymmetric action contains N fermion fields with first-order time derivatives whose path integral is evaluated for fermionless asymptotic states.
