In this paper, we define various characteristic classes on a super vector bundle over a superspace, so called super characteristic classes. We also propose the super Riemann-Roch formulas and the super Gauss-Bonnet formulas as its application. In contrast, it is justified the definition of the super characteristic classes by establishing those formulas. In [1] , we defined the super Chern classes with values in the super number, and we succeeded in applying the super ADHM construction of the super Yang-Mills instantons. But essentially the super Chern classes ought to take with values in an integer. Meaning like it, we introduce the new definition of the super Chern classes with values in integer. In general, the characteristic classes consider that given the vector bundles it corresponds to some cohomology class of the base manifolds. Hence, we need the cohomology reflecting the properties of superspaces. Therefore, we will define the cohomology with respect to coefficient of the some finitely generated group, which is called the helicity group.

This article is organized as follows. After a brief sketch on the definition and examples of superspaces and its cohomology in Section 2 ([1] -[6] ), main result in this paper is that we define the Chern class, Chern character, Todd class, Pontrjagin class, Eular class, -genus and L-genus as in the case of super category in Section 3. In Section 4, as an application, we have the Riemann-Roch type formula of super structure sheaf on the complex supercurves of dimension with genus g. Moreover, it generalizes the structure sheaf to any super line sheaves. In particular, in the case of dimension, with supersymmetric structure, we obtain the Atiyah-Singer index type formula for any super line bundles. In Section 5, we attempt to define the helicity group and cohomology with respect to coefficient of the helicity group. In Section 6, we give the Gauss-Bonnet type formula on the complex supercurves of dimension with genus g and the complex super projectve space of dimension.

We will summarize the definitions here in order to establish terminology and notation ([1] -[6] ).

Definition 2.1 A superspace is defined to be a local ringed space consisting a topological

space M and a sheaf of -graded supercommutative rings on it such that the stalk at any point is a local ring.

In particular case of a superspace, a supermanifold is defined by the following.

Definition 2.2 A supermanifold of dimension is a ringed space with the following properties:

1) the structure sheaf is a sheaf of -graded supercommutative rings,

2) Let be the ideal sheaf of nilpotents in. Then is a classical manifold M of dimension n, so also called body.

3) Let be the locally free -module of rank. Then is locally isomorphic to the exterior algebra.

A supermanifold is said to be split if the isomorphism 3) holds globally.

A local section can be expressed as follows:

where, is a local coordinate function on and a local

generator of. We refer to as a local coordinate of a supermanifold.

Example 2.1 1) The typical example is the real (or complex) linear superspace (or) which can be defined by

where (or) is the sheaf of the ring of differential functions on (or). It is easy to see that

the is isomorphic to.

2) A real super sphere of dimension is defined by

where is the sheaf of the ring of differential functions on.

3) A complex super projective space of dimensin is defined by

We denote by the structure sheaf of. A super holomorphic function 1) on should be a function of total homogeneity 0 in even variables and N odd variables, that is has homogeneity. Let be the even line sheaf of degree d on and be the odd line sheaf of degree d on.

4) A quaternionic super projective space of dimension is defined by

The above are examples of the supermanifolds in Definition 2.2.

5) We have a new example of superspace in Definition 2.1 as follows. The complex supercurves of dimension with genus g is defined by

where is the canonical line bundle on the classical Riemann surfaces and. In the case of, it becomes the super Riemann surfaces with SUSY structure (c.f. [7] , p.162). In the case of, we do not kown whether or not there exists a SUSY structure.

We can construct the super Euler sequence as follows ([1] ).

Tensoring this with, we have

Considering the super determinant ( so called Berezin bundle ) of the super Euler sequence, we obtain

Dualizing this, we can write
