Superconformal invariance is of central importance to a perturbative and non-perturbative formulation of stringy theory. The group that describes the invariances of the superstring is the super-Virasoro group, Super-Diff(S/sup 1/). The super-reparameterizations of the circle that leave a point fixed compose the quotient space Super-(Diff(S/sup 1/)/S/sup 1/). We investigate the holomorphic geometry of this infinite-dimensional Kaehler supermanifold and calculate its curvature. copyright 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
