Abstract
A generalization of the Cauchy-Kowalewsky theorem is obtained for nonlinear evolution equations with (1,1)-supersymmetric time. This theorem ensures the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a large class of superanalytic functions. A generalization of Cartan's technique to the supersymmetric case is also obtained, and by means of it the problem of integrating a system of partial differential equations is transformed into the problem of finding a sequence of integral supermanifolds of lower dimension by means of a succession of integrations based on the Cauchy-Kowalewsky theorem. Evolution equations with (1, 1) time are important for applications to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and field theory, namely, square roots of the Schrödinger and heat-conduction equations. We consider nonlinear generalizations of such equations.
