Abstract
The conformal algebra in a superspace with orthosymplectic metric is found to be an orthosymplectic algebra with two extra Bose dimensions. It is argued that all supergauge fields are also Nambu–Goldstone fields. In supergauge theory the nature of the gauged internal symmetry is found to be severely restricted: It must be O(2N), where N is the number of fundamental Dirac fermions or alternatively one-eightth of the number of Fermi dimensions of superspace.
