Abstract

The superspace formulation for the dynamical supersymmetry of the Pauli system in the presence of a Dirac magnetic monopole is presented. It is used to prove that Osp(1, 1) is the largest dynamical invariance group of this system. The action of finite transformations on the parameters of superspace and on the supervariables is given.
