superalgebra and (synthetic ) supergeometry
A superpoint is an infinitesimally thickened point whose infinitesimal extension is odd in the sense of supergeometry. A super Cartesian space of vanishing ordinary dimension.
A superpoint is a supermanifold of the form .
For more see at geometry of physics – superalgebra.
The object is also called the odd line.
The category of superpoints
is the full subcategory of the category of supermanifolds on the superpoints.
The algebra of functions on superpoints are precisely the Grassmann algebras (regarded as graded algebras).
We have an equivalence of categories
of the category of superpoints with the opposite category of Grassmann algebras.
Regard as a site with trivial coverage. Much of superalgebra and supergeometry can be usefully understood as taking place over the base topos – the sheaf topos over superpoints – or rather the (∞,1)-sheaf (∞,1)-topos
of super ∞-groupoids. See there for more details.
A super translation Lie algebra and hence super Minkowski spacetime, is a Lie algebra extension of a superpoint, with the latter regarded as an abelian super Lie algebra. See at super translation Lie algebra for more on this.
