The Poincar\'e-Cartan Form in Superfield Theory

An intrinsic description of the Hamilton-Cartan formalism for first-order Berezinian variational problems determined by a submersion of supermanifolds is given. This is achieved by studying the associated higher-order graded variational problem through the Poincar'e-Cartan form. Noether theorem and examples from superfield theory and supermechanics are also discussed.
