Abstract In this Letter, we show how the complete geometric quantization extends to specific supersymplectic supermanifolds. More precisely, we extend this procedure to OSp(1/2)-coadjoint orbits, which are graded extensions of elliptic Sp(2, ℝ)-coadjoint orbits. Our approach exploits results obtained in a previous work, where the notion of a super-Kähler supermanifold was defined, and the former orbits were shown to be nontrivial examples of such a notion. As their underlying Kähler manifolds, these supermanifolds carry a natural (super-Kähler) polarization, a crucial notion that was so far lacking. Geometric quantization leads here to a nontrivial representation of osp(1/2), which is realized in a space of square integrable holomorphic sections of a super-Hermitian complex line bundle sheaf-with-connection over the homogenous space OSp(1/2)/U(1).
