We study the Ricci flatness condition on generic supermanifolds. It has beenfound recently that when the fermionic complex dimension of the supermanifoldis one the vanishing of the super-Ricci curvature implies the bosonicsubmanifold has vanishing scalar curvature. We prove that this phenomena isonly restricted to fermionic complex dimension one. Further we conjecture thatfor complex fermionic dimension larger than one the Calabi-Yau theorem holdsfor supermanifolds.Comment: 9 pages; typos correcte
