Superfields and the Inconsistency of regularization by dimensional reduction
Question:
How can you show the inconsistency of regularization by dimensional reduction in the $\mathcal{N}=1$ superfield approach (without reducing to components)?
Background and some references:

Using the area element in derivation of geodesic
In the derivation of the geodesic, one starts with the integral of the line element (arclength):
$$L(C)=\int_{\tau_1}^{\tau_2}d\tau\sqrt{g_{\mu \nu}\dot{x}^{\mu} \dot{x}^{\nu}}$$
The integrand is ...
