Abstract

In this paper we generalize some results of Richard Palais to the case of Lie supergroups and Lie superalgebras. More precisely, let GG be a Lie supergroup, g\mathfrak g its Lie superalgebra and let ρ\rho be an infinitesimal action (a representation) of g\mathfrak g on a supermanifold MM. We will show that there always exists a local (smooth left) action of GG on MM such that ρ\rho is the map that associates the fundamental vector field on MM to an algebra element (we will say that the action integrates ρ\rho). We also show that if ρ\rho is univalent, then there exists a unique maximal local action of GG on MM integrating ρ\rho. And finally we show that if GG is simply connected and all (smooth, even) vector fields ρ(X)\rho(X) are complete then there exists a global (smooth left) action of GG on MM integrating ρ\rho. Omitting all references to the super setting will turn our proofs into variations of those of Palais.
