The super period matrix with Ramond punctures in the supergravity formulation

In a very recent preprint, Witten showed how to construct a g|r×g|r super period matrix for super Riemann surfaces of genus g with 2r Ramond punctures, which is symmetric in the Z2 graded sense. He also showed how it can be applied to analyze supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications which...
