Super Lie Groups

Abstract

This chapter gives an introduction to the theory of super Lie groups. However, the choice of topics is restricted to what will be needed for the theory of principal bundles in Chap. 6. Super Lie groups are of interest to physics as symmetry groups. An early mathematically rigorous treatment of super Lie groups is presented in Kostant (Graded manifolds, graded Lie theory, and prequantization. In: Differential geometrical methods in mathematical physics, 1977).
