Supergeometry, Super Riemann Surfaces and the Superconformal Action Functional
This book treats the two-dimensional non-linear supersymmetric sigma model or spinning string from the perspective of supergeometry. The objective is to understand its symmetries as geometric properties of super Riemann surfaces, which are particular comp

Preface
This book grew out of my dissertation thesis accepted by the Universität Leipzig in early 2017. For the book at hand, I have rewritten and expanded several chapters. The leading question for the thesis was how the action functional of the twodimensional non-linear supersymmetric sigma model, or spinning string, is related to the geometry of super Riemann surfaces. The necessary tools from supergeometry to answer that question were quite spread out in the literature or did not exist. It was necessary to gather results from quite diverse places in the literature and reformulate them in a common language and fill in the remaining gaps. Hence the result
