super vector space

A super vector space is an object in the category SVect: as an object it is just a 2-graded vector space, but when tensoring them one uses the non-trivial symmetric monoidal structure on 2-graded algebras. In simple terms, this means that when switching two ‘odd’ vectors one introduces a minus sign:

vw(1) deg(v)deg(w)wvv \otimes w \mapsto (-1)^{deg(v) deg(w)} w \otimes v
