摘要 Abstract

Teichmüller space is a fundamental space that is important in many areas of mathematics and physics. In recent times generalizations of this space have been intensely studied. Examples of such higher Teichmüller spaces are given by the so-called super-Teichmüller spaces, with structural groups given by supergroups. These appear as a natural object when studying a combinatorial approach to spin structures on Riemann surfaces and the generalization to supermanifolds. In this talk, we give a substantial simplification of the formulation of the spin structures and describe the N=1 and N=2 super-Teichmüller space using the analogue of Penner coordinates.
