The $H^{2\mathrm{\mid }2}$ monotonicity theorem revisited

We use supersymmetric localization and integration by parts to derive variational and convex correlation inequalities in statistical physics. As a primary application, we give an alternative proof of the monotonicity theorem for the $H^{2\mathrm{\mid }2}$ supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model. This recovers a result of Poudevigne without relying on probabilistic couplings.
