    The author extends the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula to Lie superalgebras. With its help he defines exponents of Lie superalgebras -- he calls them Lie supergroups -- and proves that \(\exp\mathfrak g\) is either a Lie group or a local analytic nonassociative groupoid, thus being different from supergroups in the sense of Kostant, Berezin and A. Rogers. He also discusses the problem of a compatibility of relevant series with the exponential map. As examples, some matrix Lie superalgebras, subalgebras of the super-Poincaré algebra and the special Lie superalgebras \(D(2,1,\alpha)\) are discussed. Finally, the author uses \(\exp\mathfrak g\) as generalized structural groups of some fibre bundles. He determines those superbundles by cocycles of transition functions taking values in Lie supergroups.
