Superalgebra




:A\otimes A ightarrow A
which is an even morphism of super vector spaces. This means that
:A_iA_j \sube A_{i+j}
where the subscripts are read modulo 2. As with ordinary Algebras , the multiplication is usually required to be Associative and Unital (although there are important classes of algebras such as Lie Superalgebra s which are neither). The identity element is necessarily even.


FURTHER DEFINITIONS

The ''even subalgebra'' of a superalgebra ''A'' is the homogeneous subalgebra ''A''0 spanned by the even elements. It forms an ordinary algebra over ''K''. By contrast, the odd subspace ''A''1 does not form a subalgebra since the product of any two odd elements is even.

A Commutative Superalgebra is one which satisfies a graded version of Commutativity . Specifically, ''A'' is commutative if
