Compact forms of complex Lie supergroups (Q392401)

The author discusses the possibility of extending the association of a real compact form to any semisimple complex Lie group to the case of super structures. Due to rigidity, in general such a result may not be expected, but he presents a case where this is possible and gives two equivalent approaches to this problem, a direct construction and one using super Harish-Chandra pairs. Preliminaries necessary for the understanding of the paper are also presented.
