Abstract

We prove that the category of Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-manifolds has all finite products. Further, we show that a Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-manifold (resp., a Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-morphism) can be reconstructed from its algebra of global Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-functions (resp., from its algebra morphism between global Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-function algebras). These results are of importance in the study of Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n Lie groups. The investigation is all the more challenging, since the completed tensor product of the structure sheafs of two Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n-manifolds is not a sheaf. We rely on a number of results on (pre)sheaves of topological algebras, which we establish in the appendix.
