A natural generalization of a Lie algebra connection, or Yang-Mills field, to the case of a Lie-Kac superalgebra, for example SU(m/n), just in terms of ordinary complex functions and differentials, is proposed. Using the chirality which defines the supertrace of the superalgebra: , we construct a covariant differential: , where A is the standard even Lie-subalgebra connection 1-form and a scalar field valued in the odd module. Despite the fact that is a scalar, anticomtes with ( ) because anticommutes with the odd generators hidden in . Hence the curvature = is a superalgebra-valued linear map which respects the Bianchi identity and correctly defines a chiral parallel transport compatible with a generic Lie superalgebra structure.
