    This is a long paper, which is a good project for the notion of quantum field theory. The paper is more than sixty pages and it contains eight sections with references. The paper is well organized and with excellent use of mathematical tools such as representation theory, category theory and some related theory. The authors in this paper analyze super-geometric locally covariant quantum field theories. They develop the notion of certain categories to improve Lorentz manifolds for the usual quantum field theory. As a result, they construct a functor which gives them the opportunity to get the desired generalization. Then using some technical category theory and the notion of super-symmetry transformations, they reach the point to define and develop the so-called super-quantum field theory. There are many technical and algebraic as well as geometric approaches which can be seen in the paper. Such tools enhance the construction and give the paper a good impact for such development. We see in the end of the paper, some examples which analyze the super-particle in certain dimensions.
