Abstract

The geometrical meaning of a particularly simple metric in the superspace is elucidated, and their possible connection with mechanisms of topological origin in high energy physics, i.e., the localization of the fields in a particular sector of supermanifold, is analyzed and discussed. The description and the analysis of some interesting aspects of the simplest Riemannian superspaces are presented from the point of view of possible vacuum solutions.
