Abstract

The aim of this work is the construction of a "supermanifold of morphisms XYX \rightarrow Y", given two finite-dimensional supermanifolds XX and YY. More precisely, we will define an object SC(X,Y)\underline{SC}^\infty(X,Y) in the category of supermanifolds proposed by Molotkov and Sachse. Initially, it is given by the set-valued functor characterised by the adjunction formula Hom(P×X,Y)Hom(P,SC(X,Y))\mathrm{Hom}(P \times X,Y) \cong \mathrm{Hom}(P,\underline{SC}^\infty(X,Y)) where PP ranges over all superpoints. We determine the structure of this functor in purely geometric terms: We show that it takes values in the set of certain differential operators and establish a bijective correspondence to the set of sections in certain vector bundles associated to XX and YY. Equipping these spaces of sections with infinite-dimensional manifold structures using the convenient setting by Kriegl and Michor, we obtain at a supersmooth structure on SC(X,Y)\underline{SC}^\infty(X,Y), i.e. a supermanifold of all morphisms XYX \rightarrow Y.
