AbstractThe deformability condition for submanifolds of fixed degree immersed in a graded manifold can be expressed as a system of first order PDEs. In the particular but important case of ruled submanifolds, we introduce a natural choice of coordinates, which allows to deeply simplify the formal expression of the system, and to reduce it to a system of ODEs along a characteristic direction. We introduce a notion of higher dimensional holonomy map in analogy with the one-dimensional case [29], and we provide a characterization for singularities as well as a deformability criterion.

The differential calculus, including formalism of linear differential operators and the Chevalley–Eilenberg differential calculus, overN-graded commutative rings and onN-graded manifolds is developed. This is a straightforward generalization of the conventional differential calculus over commutative rings and also is the case of the differential calculus over Grassmann algebras and onZ2-graded manifolds. We follow the notion of anN-graded manifold as a local-ringed space whose body is a smooth manifoldZ. A key point is that the graded derivation module of the structure ring of graded functions on anN-graded manifold is the structure ring of global sections of a certain smooth vector bundle over its bodyZ. Accordingly, the Chevalley–Eilenberg differential calculus on anN-graded manifold provides it with the de Rham complex of graded differential forms. This fact enables us to extend the differential calculus onN-graded manifolds to formalism of nonlinear differential operators, by analogy with that on smooth manifolds, in terms of graded jet manifolds ofN-graded bundles.

A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree 1 squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of "gauge fields" (sections in the category of graded manifolds) and each cohomology class of a certain subcomplex of forms on the fiber we associate a cohomology class on the base. As any principal bundle yields canonically a Q-bundle, this construction generalizes Chern–Weil classes. Novel examples include cohomology classes that are locally de Rham differential of the integrands of topological sigma models obtained by the AKSZ-formalism in arbitrary dimensions. For Hamiltonian Poisson fibrations one obtains a characteristic 3-class in this manner. We also relate the framework to equivariant cohomology and Lecomte's characteristic classes of exact sequences of Lie algebras.

Abstract We consider the problem of integration of $L_\infty $-algebroids (differential non-negatively graded manifolds) to $L_\infty $-groupoids. We first construct a “big” Kan simplicial manifold (Fréchet or Banach) whose points are solutions of a (generalized) Maurer–Cartan equation. The main analytic trick in our work is an integral transformation sending the solutions of the Maurer–Cartan equation to closed differential forms. Following the ideas of Ezra Getzler, we then impose a gauge condition that cuts out a finite-dimensional simplicial submanifold. This “smaller” simplicial manifold is (the nerve of) a local Lie $\ell $-groupoid. The gauge condition can be imposed only locally in the base of the $L_\infty $-algebroid; the resulting local $\ell $-groupoids glue up to a coherent homotopy, that is, we get a homotopy coherent diagram from the nerve of a good cover of the base to the (simplicial) category of local $\ell $-groupoids. Finally, we show that a $k$-symplectic differential non-negatively graded manifold integrates to a local $k$-symplectic Lie $\ell$-groupoid; globally, these assemble to form an $A_\infty$-functor. As a particular case for $k=2$, we obtain integration of Courant algebroids.

Graded bundles are a particularly nice class of graded manifolds and represent a natural generalization of vector bundles. By exploiting the formalism of supermanifolds to describe Lie algebroids, we define the notion of a weighted[Formula: see text]-connection on a graded bundle. In a natural sense weighted [Formula: see text]-connections are adapted to the basic geometric structure of a graded bundle in the same way as linear [Formula: see text]-connections are adapted to the structure of a vector bundle. This notion generalizes directly to multi-graded bundles and in particular we present the notion of a bi-weighted[Formula: see text]-connection on a double vector bundle. We prove the existence of such adapted connections and use them to define (quasi-)actions of Lie algebroids on graded bundles.

In contrast with QFT, classical field theory can be formulated in strict mathematical terms of fibre bundles, graded manifolds and jet manifolds. Second Noether theorems provide BRST extension of this classical field theory by means of ghosts and antifields for the purpose of its quantization.
