Key Equations

$$\text{Superspace: } (x^\mu, \theta^\alpha, \bar{\theta}_{\dot{\alpha}})$$
$$\theta^\alpha \theta^\beta = -\theta^\beta \theta^\alpha, \quad (\theta^\alpha)^2 = 0$$
$$\Phi(x, \theta) = \phi(x) + \sqrt{2}\theta \psi(x) + \theta\theta F(x)$$
$$\mathcal{L} = \int d^4\theta \, \Phi^\dagger \Phi + \left(\int d^2\theta \, W(\Phi) + \text{h.c.}\right)$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
