Abstract: In previous work, the author proved that there is a countably infinite family of N=2 superconformal equivalence classes of DeWitt N=2 superconformal super-Riemann surfaces with closed, genus-zero body. In this paper, we determine the automorphism groups for these N=2 superconformal super-Riemann surfaces, and analyze the Lie structure of these groups. Under the correspondence between N=2 superconformal and N=1 superanalytic structures, the results extend to the determination of automorphism groups of N=1 superanalytic DeWitt super-Riemann surfaces with closed, genus-zero body.

Review text

In the frame of the study of \(N=2\) superconformal field theory, the author determines and studies the automorphism groups for the countably infinite family of \(N=2\) superconformal equivalence classes of DeWitt \(N=2\) superconformal super-Riemann surfaces with closed, genus-zero body, as a beginning point in the description of the moduli space of genus-zero \(N=2\) superconformal super-Riemann surfaces with half-infinite tubes attached. She prefers the ``concrete DeWitt approach to supermanifolds to ``the ringed space approach because the first one allows the consideration of transition functions that are odd functions of an even variable, as it is necessary in applications to superconformal field theory. After a section containing the necessary preliminaries on DeWitt supermanifolds and the equivalence between the genus-zero \(N=2\) superconformal and \(N=1\) superanalytic super-Riemann surfaces, a previously obtained uniformization result for these structures is presented. Next, the automorphism groups of \(N=2\) superconformal super-Riemann spheres \(S^{2} \widehat {\mathbb C}(n)\) are described in detail for all values of \(n \in \mathbb Z \) and their Lie structure is investigated. In particular, concerning their super-dimension, the author shows that one gets: the even dimension is always 4 for all \(n \in \mathbb Z \), while the odd dimension is 4 for \(|n|\leq 2\) and it is \(|n|+2\) for \(|n|\geq 2\) . Several remarks concerning relations to superfield theory are also presented.
