Abstract: A super Lie group is a group whose operations are

G^{i n f t y}

mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are

G^{i n f t y}

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

h f r a k

is a closed, split sub-super Lie algebra of the super Lie algebra of a super Lie group

G c a l,

then

h f r a k

is the super Lie algebra of a sub-super Lie group of

G c a l .

Additionally, we show that if

g f r a k

is a Banach super Lie algebra satisfying certain natural conditions, then there is a super Lie group

G c a l

such that the even part of

g f r a k

is the even part of the super Lie algebra of

G c a l .

In general, the module structure on

g f r a k

is required to obtain

G c a l,

but the "structure constants" involving the odd part of

g f r a k

can not be recovered without further restrictions. We also show that if

H c a l

is a closed sub-super Lie group of a super Lie group

G c a l,

then

G c a l a r G c a l / H c a l

is a principal fiber bundle. Finally, we show that if

g f r a k

is a graded Lie algebra over

C,

then there is a super Lie group whose super Lie algebra is the Grassmann shell of

g f r a k .

We also briefly relate our theory to techniques used in the physics literature.
