Normal Lie subsupergroups and non-abelian supercircles

We propose and study an appropriate analog of normal Lie subgroups in the supergeometrical context.

Description
Summary:We propose and study an appropriate analog of normal Lie subgroups in the supergeometrical context. We prove that the ringed space obtained taking the quotient of a Lie supergroup by a normal Lie subsupergroup, is still a Lie supergroup. We show how one can construct Lie supergroup structures over topologically nontrivial Lie groups and how the previous property of normal Lie subsupergroups can be used, in order to explicitly obtain the coproduct, counit, and antipode of these structures. We illustrate the general theory by carrying out the previous constructions over the circle, which leads to non-abelian super generalizations of the circle.
