Abstract

Applying the concept of a momentum map for supersymplectic supervectorspaces to the one-dimensional Bose-Fermi oscillator, we show that the largest symmetry group that admits a momentum map is the identity component of the intersection of the orthosymplectic group OSp(2|2) and the group of supersymplectic transformations. This gives a systematic characterization of a certain class of odd supersymmetry transformations that were originally introduced in an ad hoc way.
