Abstract

A super Lie group is a group whose operations are GG^{\infty} mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are GG^{\infty} functions. Moreover the images of our charts are open subsets of a graded infinite-dimensional Banach space since our space of supernumbers is a Banach Grassmann algebra with a countably infinite set of generators. In this context, we prove that if \hfrak\hfrak is a closed, split sub-super Lie algebra of the super Lie algebra of a super Lie group \Gcal,\Gcal, then \hfrak\hfrak is the super Lie algebra of a sub-super Lie group of \Gcal.\Gcal. Additionally, we show that if \gfrak\gfrak is a Banach super Lie algebra satisfying certain natural conditions, then there is a super Lie group \Gcal\Gcal such that the even part of \gfrak\gfrak is the even part of the super Lie algebra of \Gcal.\Gcal. In general, the module structure on \gfrak\gfrak is required to obtain \Gcal,\Gcal, but the "structure constants" involving the odd part of \gfrak\gfrak can not be recovered without further restrictions. We also show that if \Hcal\Hcal is a closed sub-super Lie group of a super Lie group \Gcal,\Gcal, then \Gcal\rar\Gcal/\Hcal\Gcal \rar \Gcal/\Hcal is a principal fiber bundle. Finally, we show that if \gfrak\gfrak is a graded Lie algebra over C,C, then there is a super Lie group whose super Lie algebra is the Grassmann shell of \gfrak.\gfrak. We also briefly relate our theory to techniques used in the physics literature.
