Virtual dimension formula for the moduli of stable supermaps

Let Y{\mathcal Y} be a projective smooth superscheme of dimension r∣sr|s, with bosonic reduction YY, and let β0∈A1(Y)\beta_0\in A_1(Y). Let SMg,nNS,nRR(\spacecalY,β){\mathfrak S}{\mathfrak M}_{g,{\mathfrak n}_{NS},{\mathfrak n}_{RR}}({\spacecal Y},\beta) be the moduli superstack of stable supermaps into \spacecalY{\spacecal Y} of degree β=(1−Π)β0\beta=(1-\Pi)\beta_0, with nNS{\mathfrak n}_{NS} Neveu–Schwarz punctures and nRR{\mathfrak n}_{RR} Ramond–Ramond punctures. Write F\spacecalY=ΠJ\spacecalY/J\spacecalY2{\mathcal F}_{\spacecal Y}=\Pi{\mathcal J}_{\spacecal Y}/{\mathcal J}_{\spacecal Y}^2 on YY. Virtual dimension formula. The virtual dimension is

vdim⁡ SMg,nNS,nRR(\spacecalY,β)=(r−3)(1−g)+nNS+nRR(1+s/2)−Π[(1−g)(s−2)+nNS+(nRR/2)(r+1)]+(1−Π)∫β0[ch⁡1(TY)−ch⁡1(F\spacecalY)].\begin{aligned} \operatorname{vdim}\, {\mathfrak S}{\mathfrak M}_{g,{\mathfrak n}_{NS},{\mathfrak n}_{RR}}({\spacecal Y},\beta) ={}&(r-3)(1-g)+{\mathfrak n}_{NS}+{\mathfrak n}_{RR}(1+s/2)\\ &-\Pi\left[(1-g)(s-2)+{\mathfrak n}_{NS}+({\mathfrak n}_{RR}/2)(r+1)\right]\\ &+(1-\Pi)\int_{\beta_0}\left[\operatorname{ch}_1(T_Y)-\operatorname{ch}_1({\mathcal F}_{\spacecal Y})\right]. \end{aligned}

The formula is obtained by a formal application of super Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch. A rigorous justification via a perfect obstruction theory and a deformation theory for the moduli superstack is deferred to future work, so the assertion is presently open.
