Abstract

We define a super analog of the classical Pl\"{u}cker embedding of the Grassmannian into a projective space. One of the difficulties of the problem is rooted in the fact that super exterior powers Λrs(V)\Lambda^{r|s}(V) are not a simple generalization from the completely even case (this works only for r0r|0 when it is possible to use Λr(V)\Lambda^r(V)). To construct the embedding we need to non-trivially combine a super vector space VV and its parity-reversion ΠV\Pi V. Our "super Pl\"{u}cker map" takes the Grassmann supermanifold Grs(V)G_{r|s}(V) to a "weighted projective space" P(Λrs(V)Λsr(ΠV))P\left(\Lambda^{r|s}(V)\oplus \Lambda^{s|r}(\Pi V)\right) with weights +1,1+1,-1. A simpler map Gr0(V)P(Λr(V))G_{r|0}(V)\to P(\Lambda^r(V)) works for the case s=0s=0. We construct a super analog of Pl\"{u}cker coordinates, prove that our map is an embedding, and obtain "super Pl\"{u}cker relations". We analyze another type of relations (due to Khudaverdian) and show their equivalence with the super Pl\"{u}cker relations for rs=20r|s=2|0. We discuss application to much sought-after super cluster algebras and construct a super cluster structure for G2(R41)G_2(\mathbb{R}^{4|1}) and G2(R51)G_2(\mathbb{R}^{5|1}).
