An algebraic formulation of the geometry of the universal Grassmann manifold is presented along the line sketched by Sato and Sato [32]. General issues underlying the notion of infinite-dimensional manifolds are also discussed. A particular choice of affine coordinates on Grassmann manifolds, for both the finite- and infinite-dimensional case, turns out to be very useful for the understanding of geometric structures therein. The so-called “Kac-Peterson cocycle”, which is physically a kind of “commutator anomaly”, then arises as a cocycle of a Lie algebra of infinitesimal transformations on the universal Grassmann manifold. The action of group elements for that Lie algebra is also discussed. These ideas are extended to a multi-component theory. A simple application to a non-linear realization of current and Virasoro algebras is presented for illustration.

The classical Yang-Baxter equation as formulated by Semenov-Tyan-Shanskii is generalized to the case of Lie superalgebras [Formula: see text], for Grassmann even Yang-Baxter operators ℛ. When ℛ is “unitary” with respect to a super trace form defined on [Formula: see text], we prove the existence of two natural Poisson brackets on the dual [Formula: see text]*. If [Formula: see text] is the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra of N=1 super pseudodifferential operators, we recover the super Gel’fand-Dikii brackets underlying the N=1 super KP hierarchy and its reductions.
