Abstract

Roughly speaking, Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-manifolds are `manifolds' equipped with Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-graded commutative coordinates with the sign rule being determined by the scalar product of their Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-degrees. We examine the notion of a symplectic Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-manifold, i.e., a Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-manifold equipped with a symplectic two-form that may carry non-zero Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-degree. We show that the basic notions and results of symplectic geometry generalise to the `higher graded' setting, including a generalisation of Darboux's theorem.
