Abstract

The (m+n)-dimensional flat superspace is considered and graded linear groups with their graded algebra are calculated. The (4+4)-dimensional graded de Sitter space-time is discussed geometrically by its embedding in the (5+4)-dimensional flat superspace, and its isometry subgroupOSp¼ is calculated. We have used the isomorphism between the algebra ofSp4,R andSO3,2 to express the generatorsSab ofSO3,2 in terms of the generatorshαβ of the symplectic groupSp4,R, then it is easy to obtain the graded de Sitter algebra from the orthosymplectic algebraOSp¼. Finally, by contraction we obtain the graded Poincare algebra, that is the superalgebra with which we are familiar.
