Abstract

We apply a definition of generalised super Calabi-Yau variety (SCY) to supermanifolds of complex dimension one. One of our results is that there are two SCY's having reduced manifold equal to P1\mathbb{P}^1, namely the projective super space P12\mathbb{P}^{1|2} and the weighted projective super space WP(2)11\mathbb{WP}^{1|1}_{(2)}. Then we compute the corresponding sheaf cohomology of superforms, showing that the cohomology with picture number one is infinite dimensional, while the de Rham cohomology, which is what matters from a physical point of view, remains finite dimensional. Moreover, we provide the complete real and holomorphic de Rham cohomology for generic projective super spaces Pnm\mathbb P^{n|m}. We also determine the automorphism groups: these always match the dimension of the projective super group with the only exception of P12\mathbb{P}^{1|2} , whose automorphism group turns out to be larger than the projective general linear supergroup. By considering the cohomology of the super tangent sheaf, we compute the deformations of P1m\mathbb{P}^{1|m}, discovering that the presence of a fermionic structure allows for deformations even if the reduced manifold is rigid. Finally, we show that P12\mathbb{P}^{1|2} is self-mirror, whereas WP(2)11\mathbb{WP} ^{1|1}_{(2)} has a zero dimensional mirror. Also, the mirror map for P12\mathbb{P}^{1|2} naturally endows it with a structure of N=2N=2 super Riemann surface.
