    Presumably super anti de Sitter spacetime

    A supergeometric analog of de Sitter spacetime.

    is missing an ’anti’.

    Can you have plain ’super de Sitter’? If so, I guess that wants an entry.

    By the way, aren’t I supposed to get the impression from anti de Sitter spacetime of an (n−1,2)(n-1, 2) signature, as at anti de Sitter group?

    Up to isometry, the anti de Sitter spacetime of dimension d+1d + 1 is the pseudo-Riemannian manifold whose underlying manifold is the submanifold of the Cartesian space ℝ d+2\mathbb{R}^{d+2} that solves the equation

    ∑ i=1 d+1(x i) 2−(x d+2) 2=0 \sum_{i = 1}^{d+1} (x^i)^2 - (x^{d+2})^2 = 0

    Woops. All fixed now.

    Regarding super de Sitter: not in the usual sense, but see arXiv:1610.01566

    Is this right yet? Don’t we need two coordinates of negative sign in the signature?

    From here (2.30)

    −x 0 2+∑ i=1 d−1x i 2−x d+1 2=−R 2-x_0^2 + \sum_{i = 1}^{d-1} x^2_i - x^2_{d+1} = -R^2

    (why no dd-coordinate?)

    From here

    an n+1n + 1 dimensional flat spacetime with signature (n−1,2)(n - 1, 2), i.e. the set of points (X 1,X 2,…,X n+1)(X_1, X_2, \ldots , X_{n+1}) satisfying (X 1) 2+(X 2) 2+…+(X n−1) 2−(X n) 2−(X n+1) 2=−1(X_1)^2 + (X_2)^2 + \ldots + (X_{n-1})^2 - (X_n)^2 - (X_{n+1})^2 = -1.

    I gave what I think is the right definition, and mentioned the more general case of (p,q)(p, q) signature.
