In this paper we determine the projective unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups whose underlying Lie superalgebra is g= A⊗ k, where k is a compact simple Lie superalgebra and A is a supercommutative associative (super) algebra; the crucial case is when A= Λ s (R) is a Graßmann algebra. Since we are interested in projective representations, the first step consists in determining the cocycles defining the corresponding central extensions. Our second main result asserts that, if k is a simple compact Lie superalgebra with k 1≠{0}, then each (projective) unitary representation of Λ s (R)⊗ k factors through a (projective) unitary representation of k itself, and these are known by Jakobsen's classification. If k 1={0}, then we likewise reduce the classification problem to semidirect products of compact Lie groups K with a Clifford–Lie supergroup which has been studied by Carmeli, Cassinelli, Toigo and Varadarajan.
