Graded generalized geometry (Q2085451)

A graded manifold \(\mathcal{M} = (M, C^{\infty}_{\mathcal{M}}) \) is a second countable Hausdorff topological space \(M\) together with a sheaf \(C^{\infty}_{\mathcal{M}}\) of graded commutative associative algebras over \(M\) such that it satisfies two additional properties: \((M, C^{\infty}_{\mathcal{M}})\) is a graded locally ringed space and it has a suitable graded smooths atlas. The authors consider structures on a generalized tangent bundle associated to a given graded manifold and introduce graded Courant algebroids on graded vector bundles. They show that there is a canonical bracket on a generalized tangent bundle associated to a graded manifold. Graded analogues of Dirac structures and generalized complex structures are also considered. The authors also introduce the notions of differential graded Courant algebroids and graded Lie bialgebroids.
