contents Let $A$ be an associative algebra with a superinvolution $*$ over a field of characteristic zero, and let $c_n^*(A)$, $n = 1, 2, \ldots$, denote its sequence of $*$-codimensions. It is well known that this sequence is either polynomially bounded or grows exponentially. In the polynomial case, a central problem in PI-theory is the classification of varieties ${V}$ for which $c_n^*({V}) \approx αn^k$ for a given $k$. One of the main objectives of this paper is to classify minimal varieties of unitary algebras endowed with a superinvolution that exhibit quadratic codimension growth. We obtain a structural characterization, up to PI-equivalence, of all unitary algebras with quadratic codimension growth. As a consequence, we show that any unitary variety of quadratic codimension growth is generated by a direct sum of algebras generating minimal varieties.
