Abstract
The authors extend Tulczyjew's geometrical formulation of skewsymmetric tensor gauge fields as connections on generalised principal fibre bundles to the category of supermanifolds. Given a smooth d-dimensional manifold M and a k-form field on it, they construct a suitable supersmooth generalised principal fibre bundle P over a (d,2)-dimensional supermanifold M such that the BRS symmetries of the theory have a natural geometrical interpretation.Keywords
