Let $\mathbb{F}$ be the underlying base field of characteristic $p>3 $ and denote by $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}$ the even parts of the finite-dimensional generalized Witt Lie superalgebra $W$ and the special Lie superalgebra $S,$ respectively. We first give the generator sets of the Lie algebras $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}.$ Using certain properties of the canonical tori of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S},$ we then determine the derivation algebra of $\mathcal{W}$ and the derivation space of $\mathcal{S} $ to $\mathcal{W},$ where $\mathcal{W}$ is viewed as $\mathcal{S} $-module by means of the adjoint representation. As a result, we describe explicitly the derivation algebra of $\mathcal{S}.$ Furthermore, we prove that the outer derivation algebras of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S} $ are abelian Lie algebras or metabelian Lie algebras with explicit structure. In particular, we give the dimension formulae of the derivation algebras and outer derivation algebras of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}.$ Thus we may make a comparison between the even parts of the (outer) superderivation algebras of $W$ and $S$ and the (outer) derivation algebras of the even parts of $W$ and $S,$ respectively.
In this paper, we characterize the local superderivations on Cartan type Lie superalgebras over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$. Furthermore, we prove that every local superderivations on Cartan type simple Lie superalgebras is a superderivations. As an application, using the results on local superderivations we characterize the $2$-local superderivations on Cartan type Lie superalgebras. We prove that every $2$-local superderivations on Cartan type Lie superalgebras is a superderivations.
In this paper, we characterize the super-biderivations of Cartan type Lie superalgebras over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$. Furthermore, we prove that all super-biderivations of Cartan type simple Lie superalgebras are inner super-biderivations.
Simple modules for the restricted Witt superalgebra $W(m,n,1)$ are considered. Conditions are provided for the restricted and nonrestricted Kac modules to be simple.
Superderivations for the eight families of finite or infinite dimensional graded Lie superalgebras of Cartan-type over a field of characteristic $p>3$ are completely determined by a uniform approach: The infinite dimensional case is reduced to the finite dimensional case and the latter is further reduced to the restrictedness case, which proves to be far more manageable. In particular, the outer superderivation algebras of those Lie superalgebras are completely determined.
The maximal graded subalgebras for four families of Lie superalgebras of Cartan type over a field of prime characteristic are studied. All maximal reducible graded subalgebras are described completely and their isomorphism classes, dimension formulas are found. The classification of maximal irreducible graded subalgebras is reduced to the classification of the maximal irreducible subalgebras for the classical Lie superalgebras $\frak{gl}(m,n)$, $\frak{sl}(m,n)$ and $\frak{osp}(m,n)$.
The purpose of this paper is to determine all maximal graded subalgebras of the four infinite series of finite-dimensional graded Lie superalgebras of odd Cartan type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$. All maximal graded subalgebras consist of three types (\MyRoman{1}), (\MyRoman{2}) and (\MyRoman{3}). Maximal graded subalgebras of type (\MyRoman{3}) fall into reducible maximal graded subalgebras and irreducible maximal graded subalgebras. In this paper we classify maximal graded subalgebras of types (\MyRoman{1}), (\MyRoman{2}) and reducible maximal g raded subalgebra…
This paper considers a family of finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type over a field of characteristic $p>3$, the so-called special odd contact superalgebras. First, the spanning sets are determined for the Lie superalgebras and their relatives. Second, the spanning sets are used to characterize the simplicity and to compute the dimension formulas. Third, we determine the superderivation algebras and the first cohomology groups. Finally, the dimension formulas and the first cohomology groups are used to make a comparison between the special odd contact superalgebras and the…
The derivations of the Cheng-Kac Jordan superalgebras are studied. It is shown that, assuming -1 is a square in the ground field, the Lie superalgebra of derivations of a Cheng-Kac Jordan superalgebra is isomorphic to the Lie superalgebra obtained from a simpler Jordan superalgebra (a Kantor double superalgebra of vector type) by means of the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction. This is done by exploiting the S4-symmetry of the Cheng-Kac Jordan superalgebra.
In this paper, we focus on the $(\si,\t)$-derivation theory of Lie conformal superalgebras. Firstly, we study the fundamental properties of conformal $(\si,\t)$-derivations. Secondly, we mainly research the interiors of conformal $G$-derivations. Finally, we discuss the relationships between the conformal $(\si,\t)$-derivations and some generalized conformal derivations of Lie conformal superalgebras.
The purpose of this paper is to extend the cohomology and conformal derivation theories of the classical Lie conformal algebras to Lie conformal superalgebras. Firstly, we construct the semidirect product of a Lie conformal superalgebra and its conformal module, and study derivations of this semidirect product. Secondly, we develop cohomology theory of Lie conformal superalgebras and discuss some applications to the study of deformations of Lie conformal superalgebras. Finally, we introduce generalized derivations of Lie conformal superalgebras and study their properties.
In this paper we describe the derivations of orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras over a superring. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions under which the derivations can be expressed as a semidirect product of inner and outer derivations. We then present some examples for which these conditions hold.
In this paper, we give some basic properties of the generalized derivation algebra ${\rm GDer}(L)$ of a Hom-Lie superalgebra $L$. In particular, we prove that ${\rm GDer}(L) = {\rm QDer}(L) + {\rm QC}(L)$, the sum of the quasiderivation algebra and the quasicentroid. We also prove that ${\rm QDer}(L)$ can be embedded as derivations in a larger Hom-Lie superalgebra.
It is well known that n-Hom Lie superalgebras are certain generalizations of n-Lie algebras. This paper is devoted to investigate the generalized derivations of multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebras. We generalize the main results of Leger and Luks to the case of multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebras. Firstly, we review some concepts associated with a multiplicative n-Hom Lie superalgebra $N$. Furthermore, we give the definitions of the generalized derivations, quasiderivations, center derivations, centroids and quasicentroids. Obviously, we have the following tower $ZDer(N)\subseteq Der(N)\…
In this paper, we introduce a representation theory of Hom-Lie conformal superalgebras and discuss the cases of adjoint representations. Furthermore, we develop cohomology theory of Hom-Lie conformal superalgebras and discuss some applications to the study of deformations of regular Hom-Lie conformal superalgebras. Finally, we introduce derivations of multiplicative Hom-Lie conformal superalgebras and study their properties.
In this paper, we study triple derivations and triple homomorphisms of perfect Lie superalgebras over a commutative ring $R$. It is proved that, if the base ring contains $\frac{1}{2}$, $L$ is a perfect Lie superalgebra with zero center, then every triple derivation of $L$ is a derivation, and every triple derivation of the derivation algebra $ Der (L)$ is an inner derivation. Let $L,~L^{'}$ be Lie superalgebras over a commutative ring $R$, the notion of triple homomorphism from $L$ to $L^{'}$ is introduced. We proved that, under certain assumptions, homomorphisms, anti-homomorphisms, and sums…
Let $W_{\overline{1}}$ and $H_{\overline{0}}$ denote the odd parts of the general Witt modular Lie superalgebra $W$ and the even parts of the Hamiltonian Lie superalgebra $H$ over a field of characteristic $p>3$, respectively. We give a torus of $H_{\overline{0}}$ and the weight space decomposition of the special subalgebra of $W_{\overline{1}}$ with respect to the torus. By means of the derivations of the weight 0 and three series of outer derivations from $H_{\overline{0}}$ into $W_{\overline{1}}$, the derivations from the even parts of Hamiltonian superalgebra to the odd parts of Witt super…
Models of the exceptional simple modular Lie superalgebras in characteristic $p\geq 3$, that have appeared in the classification due to Bouarroudj, Grozman and Leites of the Lie superalgebras with indecomposable symmetrizable Cartan matrices, are provided. The models relate these exceptional Lie superalgebras to some low dimensional nonassociative algebraic systems.
Many theorems and formulas of Lie algebras run quite parallel to Lie superalgebra case, sometimes giving interesting results. So it is quite natural to extend the new concepts of Lie algebra immediately to Lie superalgebra case, as these type of algebras have wide applications in physics and related theories. Using the concept of isoclinism, F. Saeedi and S. Sheikh-Mohseni recently studied the central derivation of nilpotent Lie algebra with nilindex 2. The purpose of the present paper is to continue and extend the investigation to obtain some similar results for Lie superalgebras, as isoclini…
Let $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}$ denote the even parts of the general Witt superalgebra $W$ and the special superalgebra $S$ over a field of characteristic $ p>3,$ respectively. In this note, using the method of reduction on $\mathbb{Z}$-gradations, we determine the derivation space $\mathrm{Der}(\mathcal{W}, W_{\bar{1}})$ from $\mathcal{W}$ into $W_{\bar{1}} $ and the derivation space $\mathrm{Der}(\mathcal{S}, W_{\bar{1}})$ from $\mathcal{S}$ into $W_{\bar{1}}. $ In particular, the derivation space $\mathrm{Der}(\mathcal{S}, S_{\bar{1}})$ is determined.
We study $δ$-derivations -- a construction simultaneously generalizing derivations and centroid. First, we compute $δ$-derivations of current Lie algebras and of modular Zassenhaus algebra. This enables us to provide examples of Lie algebras having 1/2-derivations which are divisors of zero, thus answering negatively a question of Filippov. Second, we note that $δ$-derivations allow, in some circumstances, to construct examples of non-semigroup gradings of Lie algebras, in addition to the recent ones discovered by Elduque. Third, we note that utilizing the construction of the Grassmann envelop…
In this paper we consider the derivations for even part of the finite-dimensional Hamiltonian superalgebra $H$ over a field of prime characteristic. We first introduce an ideal $\frak{N}$ of $H_{\bar{0}}$ and show that the derivation space from $H_{\bar{0}}$ into $W_{\bar{0}}$ can be obtained by the derivation space from $\frak{N}$ into $W_{\bar{0}},$ the even part of the generalized Witt superalgebra $W$. For further application we also give the generating set of the ideal $\frak{N}$. Then we describe three series of exceptional derivations from $ {H}_{\bar{0}}$ into $W_{\bar{0}}.$ Finally, w…
For the exceptional finite-dimensional modular Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}(A)$ with indecomposable Cartan matrix $A$, and their simple subquotients, we computed non-isomorphic Lie superalgebras constituting the homologies of the odd elements with zero square. These homologies are~key ingredients in the Duflo--Serganova approach to the representation theory. There were two definitions of defect of Lie superalgebras in the literature with different ranges of application. We suggest a third definition and an easy-to-use way to find its value. In positive characteristic, we found out one more …
The purpose of this paper is to study the relationships between a BiHom-Lie superalgebras and its induced 3-BiHom-Lie superalgebras. We introduce the notion of $(α^s,β^r)$-derivation, $(α^s,β^r)$-quasiderivation and generalized $(α^s,β^r)$-derivation of 3-BiHom-Lie superalgebras, and their relation with derivation of BiHom-Lie superalgebras. We introduce also the concepts of Rota-Baxter operators and Nijenhuis Operators of BiHom $3$-Lie superalgebras. We also explore the construction of $3$-BiHom-Lie superalgebras by using Rota-Baxter of BiHom-Lie superalgebras.
I present a construction "a` la Chevalley" of affine supergroups associated with simple Lie superalgebras of (classical) type D(2,1;a), for any possible value of the parameter a - in particular, including non-integral values of a. This extends the similar work performed in [R. Fioresi, F. Gavarini, "Chevalley Supergroups", Memoirs of the AMS 215 (2012), no. 1014 - arXiv:0808.0785v8 [math.RA]], where all other simple Lie superalgebras of classical type were considered. The case of simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type is dealt with in [F. Gavarini, "Algebraic supergroups of Cartan type", Foru…
The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of BiHom-Lie superalgebras. This class of algebras is a generalization of both BiHom-Lie algebras and Hom-Lie superalgebras. In this article, we first present two ways to construct BiHom-Lie superalgebras from BiHom-associative superalgebras and Hom-Lie superalgebras by Yau's twist principle. Also, we explore some general classes of BiHom-Lie admissible superalgebras and describe all these classes via $G$-BiHom-associative superalgebras, where $G$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_{3}$. Finally, we discuss the concept of $β^{k}$-derivation…
We consider two families of finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type, denoted by HO and KO, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>3. Using the weight space decompositions and the principal gradings we first show that neither HO nor KO possesses a nondegenerate associative form. Then, by means of computing the superderivations from the Lie superalgebras in consideration into their dual modules, the second cohomology groups with coefficients in the trivial modules are proved to be vanishing.
For a finitely generated integral super domain $A$, we prove the Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{V} = Der(A)$ of super derivations is a simple Lie superalgebra.
Let $X$ be one of the finite-dimensional simple graded Lie superalgebras of Cartan type $W, S, H, K, HO, KO, SHO$ or $SKO$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$. In this paper we prove that $X$ can be generated by one element except the ones of type $W,$ $HO$, $KO$ or $SKO$ in certain exceptional cases, in which $X$ can be generated by two elements. As a subsidiary result, we also prove that certain classical Lie superalgebras or their relatives can be generated by one or two elements.
In this paper we mainly study the derivations for even part of the finite-dimensional odd Hamiltonian superalgebra $HO$ over a field of prime characteristic. We first give the generator set of $HO_{\bar{0}}.$ Then we determine the homogeneous derivationsfrom $HO_{\bar{0}}$ into $W_{\bar{0}},$ the even part of the generalized Witt superalgebra $W$. Finally, wedetermine the derivation algebra and outer derivation algebra of $HO_{\bar{0}}.$
This paper is primarily concerned with the first cohomology of $\frak{gl}_{0|2}$ with coefficients in the generalized Witt Lie superalgebra, where $\frak{gl}_{0|2}$ is a subalgebra of the general linear Lie superalgebra. The derivations and inner derivations from $\frak{gl}_{0|2}$ into submodules of the generalized Witt Lie superalgebra are represented by matrices, respectively. Then the first cohomology of $\frak{gl}_{0|2}$ with coefficients in the generalized Witt Lie superalgebra is completely determined by matrices.
In this paper, we introduce the relevant concepts of $n$-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie superalgebras and construct three classes of $n$-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie superalgebras. As a generalization of the notion of derivations for $n$-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras, we discuss the derivations of $n$-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie superalgebras. In addition, the theory of one parameter formal deformation of $n$-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie superalgebras is developed by choosing a suitable cohomology.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of BiHom-Lie conformal superalgebras. We develop its representation theory and define the cohomology group with coefficients in a module. Finally, we introduce conformal derivations of BiHom-Lie conformal superalgebras and study some of their properties.
We defined generalized δ-derivations of algebra A as linear mapping χassociated with usual δ-derivation ϕby the rule χ(xy)=δ(χ(x)y+xϕ(y))=δ(ϕ(x)y+xχ(y)) for any x,y \in A. We described generalized δ-derivations of prime alternative algebras, prime Lie algebras and superalgebras, unital algebras, and semisimple finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras. In this cases we proved that generalized δ-derivation is a generalized derivation or δ-derivation. After that we described δ-superderivations of superalgebras <<KKM Double>>, arising from prime alternative algebras, prime Lie algebras and superalg…
We construct two superalgebras associated to a punctured Riemann surface. One of them is a Lie superalgebra of Krichever-Novikov type, the other one is a Jordan superalgebra. The constructed algebras are related in several ways (algebraic, geometric, representation theoretic). In particular, the Lie superalgebra is the algebra of derivations of the Jordan superalgebra.
The purpose of this paper is define the representation and the cohomology of n-ary-Nambu-Lie superalgebras. Morever we study extensions and provide the computation of the derivations and second cohomology group of super w_1 3-algebra
This paper is devoted to investigating the structure theory of a class of not-finitely graded Lie superalgebras related to generalized super-Virasoro algebras. In particular, we completely determine the derivation algebras, the automorphism groups and the second cohomology groups of these Lie superalgebras.
In this paper we define the so-called twisted Heisenberg superalgebras over the complex number field by adding derivations to Heisenberg superalgebras. We classify the fine gradings up to equivalence on twisted Heisenberg superalgebras and determine the Weyl groups of those gradings.
The purpose of this paper is to compute the second adjoint cohomology group of q-deformed Witt superalgebras. They are Hom-Lie superalgebras obtained by q-deformation of Witt Lie superalgebra, that is one considers $σ$-derivations instead of classical derivations.
Let $(L, α)$ be a Hom-Lie-Yamaguti superalgebra. We first introduce the representation and cohomology theory of Hom-Lie-Yamaguti superalgebras. Furthermore, we introduce the notions of generalized derivations and representations of $(L, α)$ and present some properties. Finally, we investigate the deformations of $(L, α)$ by choosing some suitable cohomology.
The aim of this paper is to generalise the construction of $n$-ary Hom-Lie bracket by means of an $(n-2)$-cochain of given Hom-Lie algebra to super case inducing a $n$-Hom-Lie superalgebras. We study the notion of generalized derivation and Rota-Baxter operators of $n$-ary Hom-Nambu and $n$-Hom-Lie superalgebras and their relation with generalized derivation and Rota-Baxter operators of Hom-Lie superalgebras. We also introduce the notion of $3$-Hom-pre-Lie superalgebras which is the generalization of $3$-Hom-pre-Lie algebras.
We described $δ$-derivations and $δ$-superderivations of simple and semisimple finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras over algebraic closed fields with characteristic $p\neq2$. We constructed new examples of 1/2-derivations and 1/2-superderivations of simple Zelmanov's superalgebra $V_{1/2}(Z,D).$
This paper is primarily concerned with generalized reduced Verma modules over $\mathbb{Z}$-graded modular Lie superalgebras. Some properties of the generalized reduced Verma modules and the coinduced modules are obtained. Moreover, the invariant forms on the generalized reduced Verma modules are considered. In particular, we prove that the generalized reduced Verma module is isomorphic to the mixed product for modules of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type.
A well-known fact is that there does not exist any compatible left-symmetric structures on a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra (see \cite{Chu1974}). This result is not valid in semisimple Lie superalgebra case. In this paper, we study the compatible Left-symmetric superalgebra (LSSA for short) structures on complex simple Lie superalgebras. We prove that there is not any compatible LSSA structure on a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie superalgebra except for the classical simple Lie superalgebra $A(m,n)(m\neq n)$ and Cartan simple Lie superalgebra $W(n)(n\geq 3)$. We also c…
Complete hom-Lie superalgebra are considered and some equivalent conditions for a hom-Lie superalgebra to be a complete hom-Lie superalgebra are established. In particular, the relation between decomposition and completeness for a hom-Lie superalgebra is described. Moreover, some conditions that the set of $α^{s}$-derivations of a hom-Lie superalgebra to be complete and simply complete are obtained.
In the present work we introduce notions such as $k$-solvability, $s$- and $K_1$-nilpotency and the corresponding radicals. We prove that these radicals are invariant under derivations of Leibniz $n$-algebras. The Frattini and Cartan subalgebras of Leibniz $n$-algebras are studied. In particular, we construct examples that show that a classical result on conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras of Lie algebras, which also holds in Leibniz algebras and Lie $n$-algebras, is not true for Leibniz $n$-algebras.
I present a construction of connected affine algebraic supergroups G_V associated with simple Lie superalgebras g of Cartan type and with g-modules V. Conversely, I prove that every connected affine algebraic supergroup whose tangent Lie superalgebra is of Cartan type is necessarily isomorphic to one of the supergroups G_V that I introduced. In particular, the supergroup constructed in this way associated with g := W(n) and its standard representation is described somewhat more in detail. In addition, *** an "Erratum" is added here *** after the main text to fix a mistake which was kindly poin…
We prove Conjecture 5.7 in [arXiv:1409.2532], describing all inclusions between primitive ideals for the general linear superalgebra in terms of the Ext1-quiver of simple highest weight modules. For arbitrary basic classical Lie superalgebras, we formulate two types of Kazhdan-Lusztig quasi-orders on the dual of the Cartan subalgebra, where one corresponds to the above conjecture. Both orders can be seen as generalisations of the left Kazhdan-Lusztig order on Hecke algebras and are related to categorical braid group actions. We prove that the primitive spectrum is always described by one of th…
