Abstract: (Elsevier)

A three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory is formulated with gauge potentials taking values in the algebra of a non-degenerate super-translation group. This algebra, in which the D bosonic generators do not commute with supersymmetries, is only defined when D =3,4,6 or 10. The related WZW sigma model describes superstring theory in a fixed gauge.
