Given the free propagator of a matrix‐valued field φ<sub>αβ</sub> in the form <φ<sub>αβ</sub>(<i>x</i>), φ<sub>γδ</sub> (0)> = (1/2) (δ<sub>αγ</sub>δ<sub>βδ</sub> +δ<sub>αδ</sub>δ<sub>βγ</sub> − 2<i>c</i>δ<sub>αβ</sub>δ<sub>γδ</sub>) Δ (<i>x</i>), we derive an integral representation for the matrix superpropagator <φNαβ(x),φNγδ(0)> <φ αβ N (x),φ γδ N (0)> for arbitrary <i>N</i>, and apply this to find the exponentially parametrized gravity superpropagator <|−<i>g</i>(<i>x</i>)|<sup>ω</sup> <i>g</i> <sub>αβ</sub> (<i>x</i>), |−<i>g</i>(0)|<sup>ω</sup> <i>g</i> <sub>γδ</sub> (0)> with <i>g</i> <sub>μν</sub>(<i>x</i>) ≡ [exp κφ(<i>x</i>)]<sub>μν</sub>. Other applications are also mentioned.
