Abstract

This last Chapter is devoted to developing the rudiments of a theory of Lie supergroups within the category of G-supermanifolds, together with the basic definitions related to principal superfibre bundles and associated superbundles. Since a G-supermanifold structure is not determined by the underlying topological space, the group axioms must be expressed in categorial terms.1 This is what happens in the theory of algebraic groups, whose guidelines will be followed here. Most of our material will be taken, with the necessary modifications, from [Wat, Hum], where the theory of algebraic groups is developed, from [Pen], containing the theory of Lie supergroups and their representations in the context of algebraic graded manifolds (superschemes), and from [Lop], which is devoted to graded Lie groups (i.e., Lie groups in the framework of the Berezin-Leĭtes-Kostant graded manifold theory, as earlier considered in [Kos]).

Y ¿qué importa errar lo menos quien ha accertado lo más ? P. Calderón De La Barca

  1. Even though we shall follow a more direct approach, this fact could be stated by saying that Lie supergroups are group objects in the category of G-supermanifolds.
