Abstract

In this paper we study the quantum deformation of the superflag $\mathrm{Fl}(2 \vert 0, 2 \vert 1, 4 \vert 1)$, and its big cell, describing the complex conformal and Minkowski superspaces respectively. In particular, we realize their projective embedding via a generalization to the super world of the Segre map and we use it to construct a quantum deformation of the super line bundle realizing this embedding. This strategy allows us to obtain a description of the quantum coordinate superring of the superflag that is then naturally equipped with a coaction of the quantum complex conformal supergroup $\mathrm{SL}_q (4 \vert 1)$.
