Abstract According to the classification by Kac, there are eight Cartan series and five exceptional Lie superalgebras in infinite-dimensional simple linearly compact Lie superalgebras of vector fields. In this paper, the Hom-Lie superalgebra structures on the five exceptional Lie superalgebras of vector fields are studied. By making use of the ℤ-grading structures and the transitivity, we prove that there is only the trivial Hom-Lie superalgebra structures on exceptional simple Lie superalgebras. This is achieved by studying the Hom-Lie superalgebra structures only on their 0-th and (−1)-th ℤ-components.

We continue the study of irreducible representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebra E(3,6). This is one of the two simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which have a Lie algebra sℓ(3) × sℓ(2) × gℓ(1) as the zero degree component of its consistent ℤ-grading. We provide the classification of the singular vectors in the degenerate Verma modules over E(3,6), completing thereby the classification and construction of all irreducible E(3,6)-modules that are L0-locally finite.

The Poisson superbracket Lie superalgebra on the supertorus T2d|N is considered and its quantization is carried out. It is shown that there exists a non-trivial supercentral extension by means of 2d arbitrary c-numbers (when N is even), or 2d Grassmann numbers (when N is odd). It is shown that the infinite-dimensional superalgebras on the supertorus T2d|N can be considered as certain generalizations and large-M limits of the classical superalgebras A(M| M) and Q(M) (when N is even and odd respectively).

Given a matrix Lie algebra one can construct the 3-Lie algebra by means of the trace of a matrix. In the present paper, we show that this approach can be extended to the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold if instead of the trace of a matrix we consider a differential 1-form which satisfies certain conditions. Then we show that the same approach can be extended to matrix Lie superalgebras [Formula: see text] if instead of the trace of a matrix we make use of the supertrace of a matrix. It is proved that a graded triple commutator of matrices constructed with the help of the graded commutator and the supertrace satisfies a graded ternary Filippov–Jacobi identity. In two particular cases of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we show that the Pauli and Dirac matrices generate the matrix 3-Lie superalgebras, and we find the non-trivial graded triple commutators of these algebras. We propose a Clifford algebra approach to 3-Lie superalgebras induced by Lie superalgebras. We also discuss an application of matrix 3-Lie superalgebras in BRST-formalism.

AbstractThe natural filtration of the infinite-dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebra M over a field of characteristic p > 2 is proved to be invariant under automorphisms by discussing ad-nilpotent elements. Moreover, an intrinsic property is obtained and all the infinite-dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebras M are classified up to isomorphisms. As an application, a property of automorphisms of M is given.

The cohomology of Lie (super)algebras has many important applications in mathematics and physics. It carries most fundamental ("topological") information about algebra under consideration. At present, because of the need for very tedious algebraic computation, the explicitly computed cohomology for different classes of Lie (super)algebras is known only in a few cases. That is why application of computer algebra methods is important for this problem. We describe here an algorithm and its C implementation for computing the cohomology of Lie algebras and superalgebras. The program can proceed finite-dimensional algebras and infinite-dimensional graded algebras with finite-dimensional homogeneous components. Among the last algebras, Lie algebras and superalgebras of formal vector fields are most important. We present some results of computation of cohomology for Lie superalgebras of Buttin vector fields and related algebras. These algebras being super-analogs of Poisson and Hamiltonian algebras have found many applications to modern supersymmetric models of theoretical and mathematical physics.

In this paper, we recall the Balinsky–Novikov (BN) superalgebras and revisit the approach of constructing an infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra by a kind of affinization of a BN superalgebra. As an example, we give an explicit construction of Beltrami and Green–Schwarz–Witten (GSW) algebras from two isomorphic BN superalgebras, respectively, which proves that they are isomorphic as a direct consequence. Moreover, we consider the central extensions of the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras induced from BN superalgebras through certain bilinear forms on their corresponding BN superalgebras.

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.

This note is devoted to a more detailed description of one of the five simple exceptional Lie superalgebras of vector fields, [Formula: see text] a subalgebra of [Formula: see text]. We derive differential equations for its elements, and solve these equations. Hence we get an exact form for the elements of [Formula: see text]. Moreover we realize [Formula: see text] by "glued" pairs of generating functions on a (3∣3)-dimensional periplectic (odd symplectic) supermanifold and describe the bracket explicitly.
