Abstract:. The “minimal sign skeleton” necessary to formulate the Koszul sign rule is a certain Picard category, a symmetric monoidal category with all objects and morphisms invertible. It can be seen as the free Picard category generated by one object and corresponds, by Grothendieck‘s dictionary, to the truncation of the spherical spectrum in degrees 0 and 1, so that appears as the first stable homotopy group of spheres . This suggest a “higher” or categorified versions of super-mathematics which utilize deeper structure of . The first concept on this path is that of a supersymmetric monoidal category which is categorified version of the concept of a supercommutative algebra.
