Superconformal invariance is of central importance to a perturbative and non-perturbative formulation of string theory. The group that describes the invariances of the superstring is the super-Virasoro group, Super-Diff\((S^ 1)\). The super-reparametrizations of the circle that leave a point fixed compose the quotient space Super-(Diff\((S^ 1)/S^ 1)\). We investigate the holomorphic geometry of this infinite-dimensional Kähler supermanifold and calculate its curvature.
