TL;DR
The paper builds a rigorous algebro-geometric framework for $C^{\infty}$-superrings and their superschemes by defining $C^{\infty}$-superrings, studying split cases, and developing a spectrum theory via both prime-radical and $\mathbb{R}$-point perspectives. It establishes a fundamental equivalence between fair affine $C^{\infty}$-superschemes and fair $C^{\infty}$-superrings, extends the spectrum-Γ adjunction to the super context, and introduces notions of locality, localization, and $C^{\infty}$-radicals to support geometric constructions. The work also proves that the category of split affine $C^{\infty}$-superschemes admits fiber products and surveys fairfication as a functorial mechanism, setting the stage for a Batchelor-type expansion in future work. Overall, it provides the essential foundations for a geometric theory of smooth superspaces, with potential applications in derived differential geometry and supergeometry.
Abstract
This paper develops a theory of $C^\infty$-superrings and their associated $C^\infty$-superschemes. We prove a key equivalence between the category of fair affine $C^\infty$-superschemes and the category of fair $C^\infty$-superrings. We place special emphasis on split $C^\infty$-superrings, which generalize the function algebras of supermanifolds and serve as building blocks for more complex, non-split structures.
