Super Markov numbers and signed double dimer covers

Abstract

We provide a superalgebraic analogue of Markov numbers, which are defined as the Grassmann integer solutions to the equation \(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + (xy + yz + xz)\epsilon = 3(1+\epsilon)xyz\), as well as applications to the decorated super Teichmüller spaces associated to the once-punctured torus and certain annuli. We conclude with further directions for study.
