1 Classical manifold
Ordinary manifold of dimension is a topological space with a sheaf of commutative algebras called , satisfying the following
property. Every point has a neighborhood such that is the algebra of functions
on some open subset .
This can be also said in another way:
A manifold structure on a topological space is a rule which to every small enough open set associates:
an equivalence class of pairs where is an open subset of and is a homeomorphism
|
Moreover, it is required that, every time when are two open subsets of , and is in the class
associated to , then is in the class associated to .

2 Supermanifold
A supermanifold structure on a topological space is a rule which to every small enough open set associates:
an equivalence class of pairs where is a
superdomain of dimension and is a homeomorphism
from the body of to
|
Moreover, it is required that, every time when are two open subsets of , and is in the class
associated to , then belongs to the class associated to .

In other words:
Supermanifold
of dimension
is a topological space (called
) with a sheaf
of
super-commutative algebras called
, satisfying the following property. Each point
of
has a neighborhood
such that
is an algebra of functions
on a superdomain
of dimension
.
