Remark on the Serre-Swan theorem for graded manifolds

Abstract

Combining the Batchelor theorem and the Serre-Swan theorem, we come to that, given a smooth manifold X, a graded commutative C∞(X)-algebra is isomorphic to the structure ring of a graded manifold with a body X iff it is the exterior algebra of some projective C∞(X)-module of finite rank. In particular, it follows that odd fields in field theory on a smooth manifold X can be represented by graded functions on some graded manifold with body X.
