Smooth coalgebras
Abstract
Description
A complete mathematical framework for coalgebraic formulation of supergeometry and its infinite-dimensional extension is proposed. Within this approach a supermanifold is defined as a graded coalgebra endowed with a smooth structure. The category of such coalgebras is constructed and analysed. It is shown that it contains as its full subcategories both the category of smooth Fréchet manifolds and the category of finite-dimensional Berezin-Leites-Kostant supermanifolds.
