We give an exposition of graded and microformal ge- “Thick morphisms” (defined for ordinary manifolds, ometry, and the language of Q-manifolds. Q-manifolds supermanifolds or graded manifolds) generalize ordinary are supermanifolds endowed with an odd vector field of maps or supermanifold morphisms, but are not maps square zero.
