Abstract
We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on the coset superspace , which is a super-flag manifold with `body'. By incorporating the Wess-Zumino terms associated with the stability group, we obtain an exactly solvable super-generalization of the Landau model for a charged particle on the sphere. We solve this model using the factorization method. Remarkably, the physical Hilbert space is finite-dimensional because the number of admissible Landau levels is bounded by a combination of the U(1) charges. The level saturating the bound has a wavefunction in a shortened, degenerate, irrep of .
