The supersymmetric symmetry criterion for integrability

Let L1\mathcal{L}_1 be a maximal finite-dimensional superalgebra of Lie point symmetries of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations, and let L2\mathcal{L}_2 be a maximal finite-dimensional superalgebra of Lie point symmetries of its associated linear system. Let π\pi be a projection operator such that

π(L2)=L2ω,\pi(\mathcal{L}_2)=\mathcal{L}_2\omega,

where ω\omega involves all independent bosonic and fermionic variables and all dependent bosonic and fermionic superfields. The supersymmetric symmetry criterion. If L1=π(L2)\mathcal{L}_1=\pi(\mathcal{L}_2), then the nonlinear system is not integrable. If π(L2)\pi(\mathcal{L}_2) is a proper subset of L1\mathcal{L}_1, a free parameter can be introduced into the linear system using a symmetry transformation generated by a vector field in L4=L1\{L1π(L2)}\mathcal{L}_4=\mathcal{L}_1\backslash\{\mathcal{L}_1\cap\pi(\mathcal{L}_2)\}, and that transformation acts nontrivially, meaning that it cannot be eliminated through an L1\mathcal{L}_1-valued gauge matrix function, then the nonlinear system is a candidate to be integrable. This is presented as the supersymmetric extension of the classical symmetry criterion. The supplied text gives no evidence that the criterion itself has been proved or disproved.
