Abstract

For an arc on a bordered surface with marked points, we associate a holonomy matrix using a product of elements of the supergroup OSp(12)\mathrm{OSp}(1|2), which defines a flat OSp(12)\mathrm{OSp}(1|2)-connection on the surface. We show that our matrix formulas of an arc yields its super λ\lambda-length in Penner-Zeitlin's decorated super Teichm\"uller space. This generalizes the matrix formulas of Fock-Goncharov and Musiker-Williams. We also prove that our matrix formulas agree with the combinatorial formulas given in the authors' previous works. As an application, we use our matrix formula in the case of an annulus to obtain new results on super Fibonacci numbers.
