It is well-known that the classical vanishing results of the cohomology theory of Lie algebras depend on the characteristic of the underlying base field. The theorems of Cartan and Zassenhaus, for instance, entail that non-modular simple Lie algebras do not admit non-trivial central extensions. In contrast, early results by Block [3] prove that this conclusion loses its validity if the underlying base field has positive characteristic.Central extensions of a given Lie algebra L, or equivalently its second cohomology group H(L, F), can be conveniently described by means of derivations φ:L → L*.

Certain important results concerning p-envelopes of modular Lie algebras are generalized to the super-case. In particular, any p-envelope of the Lie algebra of a Lie superalgebra can be naturally extended to a restricted envelope of the Lie superalgebra. As an application, a theorem on the representations of Lie superalgebras is given, which is a super-version of Iwasawa's theorem in Lie algebra case. As an example, the minimal restricted envelopes are computed for three series of modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type.
