Abstract

During the last decades algebraization of space turned out to be a promising tool at the interface between Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Starting with works by Gel'fand-Kolmogoroff and Gel'fand-Naimark, this branch developed as from the fortieth in two directions: algebraic characterization of usual geometric space on the one hand, and algebraically defined noncommutative space, which is known to be tightly related with e.g. quantum gravity and super string theory, on the other hand. In this note, we combine both aspects, prove a superversion of Shanks and Pursell's classical result stating that any isomorphism of the Lie algebras of compactly supported vector fields is implemented by a diffeomorphism of underlying manifolds. We thus provide a super Lie algebraic characterization of super and graded spaces and describe explicitly isomorphisms of the super Lie algebras of super vector fields.<br />Comment: 11 pages
