This paper is aimed at determining the derivation superalgebra of modular Lie superalgebra ¯K(n,m). To that end, we first describe the Z-homogeneous derivations of ¯K(n,m). Then we obtain the derivation superalgebra Der(¯K). Finally, we partly determine the derivation superalgebra Der(K) by virtue of the invariance of K(n,m) under Der(¯K).

This paper is aimed at determining the derivation superalgebra of modular Lie superalgebra ¯K(n,m). To that end, we first describe the Z-homogeneous derivations of ¯K(n,m). Then we obtain the derivation superalgebra Der(¯K). Finally, we partly determine the derivation superalgebra Der(K) by virtue of the invariance of K(n,m) under Der(¯K).
Lie superalgebras, which originated from the research of quantum physics (see [1]), can be considered as the natural generalization of Lie algebras. Lie superalgebras are closely connected with mathematical physics as well as numerous branches of mathematics (see [2,3]). Based on the study of Lie algebras, the theory of Lie superalgebras developed rapidly, including the completed classification of finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebras in 1977 (see [4]). However, the classification of finite dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebras has not been accomplished up to now. Since the main difference between modular Lie superalgebras and Lie superalgebras in characteristic zero is the algebras of cartan type, we pay more attention to the related researches on modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type. In [5,6], authors investigated the associative forms of modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type. The natural filtrations (see [7,8,9,10]) and automorphisms (see [10,11]) of some Cartan type modular Lie superalgebras are studied. In addition, the cohomologies (see [6,12,13]) of some modular Lie superalgebras have also been determined.
It is known to all that the determination of derivation superalgebras is crucial to Lie superalgebras. The related research results in Cartan type modular Lie superalgebras are also quite rich. The derivation superalgebras of some finite dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebras of Cartan type such as K(m,n,t_), W(m,n,t_), S(m,n,t_), HO(n,n;t_), KO(n,n+1,t_), SHO(m,m,t_)(2) (see [14,15,16,17,18]) are determined, respectively. Moreover, the derivation superalgebras of some nonsimple ones are also described, where we are most interested in the correlative results of ¯W(n,m), H(n,m) and S(n,m) (see [19,20,21]). They all possess the derivation of Θ-type. In [22], we have constructed a class of finite dimensional modular Lie superalgebra of Contact type which is denoted by ¯K(n,m). This paper is aimed at determining the derivation superalgebras of ¯K(n,m).
The present paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2, certain essential notations and concepts are recalled. In Section 3, the Z-homogeneous components of Der(¯K), the derivation superalgebras of ¯K(n,m), are described, respectively. Therefore, we determine Der(¯K). In order to give a description of Der(¯K), we prove that K(n,m) is invariant under Der(¯K).
Hereafter F denotes a field of characteristic p≥3; Z2={¯0,¯1} is the ring of integers modulo 2. Apart from the standard notation Z, let N and N0 denote the sets of positive integers and nonnegative integers, respectively. A simple description of construction of the modular Lie superalgebra ¯K(n,m) in [22] will be given.
Let Λ(n) be the Grassmann algebra over F in n variables x1,x2,…,xn. Suppose that Bk={⟨i1,i2,…,ik⟩∣1≤i1<i2<⋯<ik≤n} and B(n)=⋃nk=0Bk, where B0=∅. For u=⟨i1,i2,…,ik⟩∈Bk, set |u|=k, {u}={i1,i2,…,ik} and xu=xi1xi2⋯xik (|∅|=0,x∅=1). Then {xu|u∈B(n)} is an F-basis of Λ(n).
Let U=Λ(n)⊗T(m) be the tensor product, where T(m) is the truncated polynomial algebra satisfying ypi=1 for all i=1,2,…,m (see [20]). Then U is an associative superalgebra with Z2-gradation, which is induced by the trivial Z2-gradation of T(m) and the natural Z2-gradation of Λ(n). Namely, U=U¯0⊕U¯1, where U¯0=Λ(n)¯0⊗T(m) and U¯1=Λ(n)¯1⊗T(m).
For f∈Λ(n) and α∈T(m), we abbreviate f⊗α as fα. Then the elements xuyλ with u∈B(n) and λ∈G form an F-basis of U. Obviously, U=⨁ni=0Ui is a Z-graded superalgebra, where Ui=spanF{xuyλ∣u∈B(n),|u|=i,λ∈G}. In particular, U0=T(m) and Un=spanF{xπyλ∣λ∈G}, where π:=⟨1,2,…,n⟩∈B(n).
In this paper, let hg(A)=Aˉ0∪Aˉ1, where A=Aˉ0⊕Aˉ1 is a superalgebra. If x is a Z2-homogeneous element of A, then degx denotes the Z2-degree of x.
Set Y={1,2,…,n}. Given i∈Y, let ∂/∂xi be the partial derivative on Λ(n) with respect to xi. For i∈Y, let Di be the linear transformation on U such that Di(xuyλ)=(∂xu/∂xi)yλ for all u∈B(n) and λ∈G. Let DerU denote the derivation superalgebra of U(see [12]). Then Di∈Derˉ1U for all i∈Y since ∂/∂xi∈Derˉ1(Λ(n)) (see [23]).
Suppose that u∈Bk⊆B(n) and i∈Y. When i∈{u}, u−⟨i⟩ denotes the uniquely determined element of Bk−1 satisfying {u−⟨i⟩}={u}∖{i}.Then the number of integers less than i in {u} is denoted by τ(u,i). When i∉{u}, we set τ(u,i)=0 and xu−⟨i⟩=0. Therefore, Di(xu)=(−1)τ(u,i)xu−⟨i⟩ for all i∈Y and u∈B(n).
We define (fD)(g)=fD(g) for f,g∈hg(U) and D∈hg(DerU). Since the multiplication of U is supercommutative, fD is a derivation of U. Let
W(n,m)=spanF{xuyλDi∣u∈B(n),λ∈G,i∈Y}. |
Then W(n,m) is a finite dimensional Lie superalgebra contained in DerU. A direct computation shows that
[fDi,gDj]=fDi(g)Dj−(−1)deg(fDi)deg(gDj)gDj(f)Di. |
where f,g∈hg(U) and i,j∈Y.
Set J={1,...,n−1}. Let ˜Dk:U⟶W(n,m) be the linear map such that
˜Dk(f)=∑i∈JfiDi+fnxnDn, |
where f∈hg(U), fi=(−1)degf(xixnDn(f)+Di(f)),i∈J and fn=2f−∑i∈JxiDi(f).
Let ¯K(n,m) = spanF{˜Dk(f)|f∈U}. Then ¯K(n,m) is a subspace of W(n,m).
Let
Gi=Di+xixnDn,∀i∈J,Gn=2xnDn. |
By direct calculation, we have
[Gi,Gj]=δijGn,[Gn,Gj]=0, |
where i,j∈J and δij is Kronecker delta.
It is easy to prove that ˜Dk(f)=∑i∈J(−1)degfGi(f)Gi+fGn
For f∈Uθ and g∈Uμ, where θ,μ∈Z2, set ⟨f,g⟩=˜Dk(f)(g)−Gn(f)(g). In [22], we have proved that [˜Dk(f),˜Dk(g)]=˜Dk(⟨f,g⟩). Namely, ¯K(n,m) is a subalgebra of W(n,m).
If we define an operator [,] in U such that [f,g]=˜Dk(f)(g)−Gn(f)(g) for any f,g∈U. Then ¯K(n,m)≅(U,[,]). Moreover, for any f,g∈¯K(n,m), we have
[f,g]=(2f−∑i∈JxiDi(f))xnDn(g)−(−1)deg(f)deg(g)(2g−∑i∈JxiDi(g))xnDn(f)+∑i∈J(−1)degfDi(f)Di(g). |
Let K(n,m) be the derived algebra of ¯K(n,m), then K(n,m)=spanF{xuyλ|xuyλ∈U,xuyλ≠xˆuyλ}, where ˆu=⟨1,...,n−1⟩. By [22], we know that modular Lie superalgebra K(n,m) is not simple.
In this section, we will abbreviate ¯K(n,m), K(n,m) as ¯K and K, respectively.
In [22], we proved that K(n,m) does not possess a Z-graded structure as W(n,m) (see [19]). In fact, ¯K(n,m) does not possess Z-gradation in the ordinary sense as well. If ¯K=⊕si=−r¯Ki, then it does not satisfy that
[¯Ki,¯Kj]⊆¯Ki+j,∀i,j∈{−r,−r+1,...,s}. |
Now we give a "formal" Z-gradation of ¯K(n,m):
¯K(n,m)=⊕n−2i=−2¯K(n,m)i, |
where ¯K(n,m)i=spanF{xuyλ|u∈B(n),|u|=i+2,λ∈G}. Let
Dert(¯K)={φ∈Der(¯K)|φ(¯Ki)⊆¯Kt+i,∀i∈Z}. |
It is easy to prove that Der(¯K)=⊕t∈ZDert(¯K) is a Z-graded Lie superalgebra (see [24]).
Lemma 3.1. Let φ∈Der(¯K), f∈¯K and [f,xi]=bi, ∀i∈J. If φ(xi)=φ(bi)=0, ∀i∈J, then φ(f)∈¯K−2.
Proof. By applying φ to [f,xi]=bi, we obtain [φ(f),xi]+(−1)degφdegf[f,φ(xi)]=φ(bi). Since φ(xi)=φ(bi)=0, we have [φ(f),xi]=0, ∀i∈J. Note that
[φ(f),1]=[φ(f),−[x1,x1]]=−[φ(f),[x1,x1]]=−([[φ(f),x1],x1]+[x1,[φ(f),x1]])=0. |
Therefore, −2xnDn(φ(f))=[φ(f),1]=0. Then Dn(φ(f))=0. For all i∈J,
[φ(f),xi]=(2φ(f)−∑t∈JxtDt(φ(f)))xnDn(xi)−(−1)deg(φ(f))deg(xi)(2xi−∑t∈JxtDt(xi))xnDn(φ(f))+∑t∈J(−1)degφ(f)Dt(φ(f))Dt(xi)=(−1)degφ(f)Di(φ(f)). |
Since [φ(f),xi]=0, we obtain Di(φ(f))=0,∀i∈J. Therefore, φ(f)∈¯K−2.
Lemma 3.2. Let φ∈Der−t(¯K), t≥2. If φ(¯Kt−2)=0, then φ=0.
Proof. If s<t−2, then φ(¯Ks)⊆¯Ks−t={0}.
When s⩾t−2, we will use induction on s to prove that φ(¯Ks)=0. For s=t−2, we have φ(¯Ks)=0 with the hypothesis of the lemma. Suppose s>t−2. For any y∈¯Ks, i∈J, set [y,Di]=yi. Then yi∈¯Ks′, where s′<s. According to the hypothesis of induction, we have φ(yi)=0. Noting that φ(Di)=0, we obtain φ(y)∈¯K−2. Therefore, φ(y)∈¯K−2∩¯Ks−t={0}. Namely, φ(y)=0. Then φ(¯Ks)=0. It follows that φ=0.
Proposition 3.3. Der−t(¯K)=0, t≥2.
Proof. Let φ∈Der−t(¯K),t≥2. We will prove φ(¯Kt−2)=0, where
¯Kt−2=spanF{xu1xnyλ,xu2yη|u1,u2∈B(n),|u1|=t−1,|u2|=t,λ,η∈G}. |
Note that φ(¯Kt−2)⊆¯K−2. Without loss of generality, we put φ(xu1xnyλ)=ayμ, φ(xu2yη)=byμ, where a,b∈F, μ∈G. Applying φ to [xn,xu1xnyλ]=0, we obtain
[φ(xn),xu1xnyλ]+(−1)degφdegxn[xn,φ(xu1xnyλ)]=0. | (3.1) |
Since φ(xn)∈¯K−t−1={0}, which combined with (3.1) yields [xn,φ(xu1xnyλ)]=0. Namely, [xn,ayμ]=0. In fact, [xn,ayμ]=−2ayμxn. Therefore, −2ayμxn=0. Then
φ(xu1xnyλ)=ayμ=0. | (3.2) |
For i∈{u2}, we have
[xixn,xu2yη]=(−1)τ(u2,i)xu2−⟨i⟩xnyη. | (3.3) |
Without loss of generality, let xu2−⟨i⟩xnyη=xuxnyη, where |u|=t−1. Then we may write the Eq (3.3) as
[xixn,xu2yη]=(−1)τ(u2,i)xuxnyη. | (3.4) |
By virtue of the Eq (3.2), we have φ(xuxnyη)=0. Applying φ to the Eq (3.4), we obtain
[φ(xixn),xu2yη]+(−1)degφdeg(xixn)[xixn,φ(xu2yη)]=0. | (3.5) |
If t=2, it follows from the Eq (3.2) that φ(xixn)=0. If t>2, then φ(xixn)∈¯K−t={0}. Consequently, φ(xixn)=0. Therefore, by virtue of the Eq (3.5), we have [xixn,φ(xu2yη)]=0. Namely, [xixn,byμ]=0. In fact, [xixn,byμ]=−2byμxixn. Therefore, −2byμxixn=0. Then
φ(xu2yη)=byμ=0. | (3.6) |
It follows from the Eqs (3.2) and (3.6) that φ(¯Kt−2)=0. By virtue of Lemma 3.2, we have φ=0. Therefore, Der−t(¯K)=0, t≥2.
Lemma 3.4. Let φ∈Dert(¯K), t∈Z. Suppose that φ(¯Kj)=0, j=−2,−1,...,l. If t+l≥−2, then φ=0.
Proof. By virtue of Lemma 3.1, the proof is completely analogous to [24, Lemma 2.8].
Proposition 3.5. Der−1(¯K)=0.
Proof. Let φ∈Der−1(¯K). Then φ(¯K−2)=0. In order to prove φ=0, we need to obtain φ(¯K−1)=0. Without loss of generality, we put φ(xnyλ)=ayμ, where a∈F,μ∈G. Applying φ to [1,xnyλ]=2xnyλ yields (−1)degφdeg1[1,ayμ]=2ayμ. Therefore, 2ayμ=0. Then φ(xnyλ)=ayμ=0. Similarly, we can prove that φ(xiyλ)=0, i∈J. Therefore, φ(¯K−1)=0. Then φ=0.
Let Θ=T(m)×...×T(m). For every θ=(h1(y),...,hm(y))∈Θ, we define ˜θ:G→T(m). (see [20]) For every θ∈Θ,we define Dθ:¯K→¯K such that Dθ(˜Dk(xuyλ))=˜θ(λ)˜Dk(xuyλ), for xuyλ∈U. A direct computation shows that Dθ∈Der¯0(¯K), for all θ∈Θ. Put Ω={Dθ|θ∈Θ}.
Proposition 3.6. Der0(¯K)=ad¯K−2+Ω.
Proof. Assume that yλ∈¯K−2. For f∈¯Kj,j∈{−2,−1,...,n−2}, we have
(adyλ)(f)=[yλ,f]=(2yλ−∑i∈JxiDi(yλ))xnDn(f)−(−1)deg(yλ)deg(f)(2f−∑i∈JxiDi(f))xnDn(yλ)+∑i∈J(−1)degyλDi(yλ)Di(f)=2yλxnDn(f)∈¯Kj. |
Therefore, ad¯K−2⊆Der0(¯K). Obviously, Ω⊆Der0(¯K). It follows that ad¯K−2+Ω⊆Der0(¯K).
Conversely, let φ∈Der0(¯K). It is obvious that there exist yμ∈¯K−2 and Dθ∈Ω such that (φ−adyμ−Dθ)(¯K−2)=0. Consequently, by lemma 3.4, we have φ−adyμ−Dθ=0. Then φ=adyμ+Dθ∈ad¯K−2+Ω. Thus, Der0(¯K)⊆ad¯K−2+Ω.
Lemma 3.7. Let h1,...,hn be the nonzero elements of U. If Gi(hj)=−Gj(hi) for all distinct i,j∈Y, then there exists nonzero element h∈U such that Gi(h)=hi, for i∈J and Gn(h)=−hn.
Proof. We use induction to prove there exist nonzero element h′∈U such that Gi(h′)=hi for all i∈J.
When n−1=1, let h′=x1h1≠0. Then
G1(h′)=(D1+x1xnDn)(x1h1)=h1. |
Suppose that there exists 0≠g∈U such that Gi(g)=hi for all i∈{1,...,n−2}. For i∈{1,...,n−2},
Gi(hn−1)=−Gn−1(hi)=−Gn−1(Gi(g))=Gi(Gn−1(g)). |
Therefore, Gi(hn−1−Gn−1(g))=0. Let h′=g+xn−1(hn−1−Gn−1(g)). For i∈{1,...,n−2},
Gi(h′)=Gi(g)+Gi(xn−1(hn−1−Gn−1(g))=Gi(g)=hi. |
On the other hand,
Gn−1(h′)=Gn−1(g)+Gn−1(xn−1(hn−1−Gn−1(g))=hn−1. |
Consequently, we have Gi(h′)=hi, for all i∈{1,...,n−1}. For i∈{1,...,n−1},
Gi(hn)=−Gn(hi)=−Gn(Gi(h′))=−Gi(Gn(h′)). |
Then Gi(hn+Gn(h′))=0. Therefore, hn+Gn(h′)=0. Namely, Gn(h′)=−hn. Consequently, the assertion follows from h=h′.
Lemma 3.8. Let φ∈h(Dert(¯K)), t∈N. If φ(Gj)=0, ∀j∈Y, then there exists θ∈Θ such that φ(˜Dk(yλ))=Dθ(˜Dk(yλ)), for λ∈G.
Proof. Assume that for every i∈Y, φ(yλGi)=∑nk=1gkiλGk, where gkiλ∈U. Applying φ to [Gi,yλGn]=0, i∈Y yields gknλ∈T(m). Let g(y)knλ=gknλ. Then φ(yλGn)=∑nk=1g(y)knλGk. Note that [Gj,yλGi]=0 and [Gi,yλGi]=yλGn for all i∈J, i≠j∈Y. Applying φ to these equations, we know that gkiλ contains at most xi in Λ(n). Let gkiλ=g(xi,y)kiλ, i∈J. For j∈J, let ˜Dk(xj)=∑nk=1akGk. Since [Gj,Gj]=Gn and [Gj,˜Dk(xj)]=0, we obtain
[Gj,Gj+˜Dk(xj)]=Gn. | (3.7) |
Applying φ to (3.7) yields (−1)degφ[Gj,φ(Gj+˜Dk(xj))]=0. Then [Gj,φ(˜Dk(xj))]=0. Namely, [Gj,∑nk=1akGk]=0. Therefore, Gj(ak)=0,k∈Y. Applying φ to [yλGj,Gj+˜Dk(xj)]=yλGn yields
[φ(yλGj),Gj+˜Dk(xj)]+(−1)degφ[yλGj,φ(˜Dk(xj))]=φ(yλGn). |
Therefore, [φ(yλGj),Gj+˜Dk(xj)]=φ(yλGn). Namely,
[n∑k=1g(xj,y)kjλGk,Gj+˜Dk(xj)]=n∑k=1g(y)knλGk. |
A direct computation shows that g(y)knλ=0, k∈J and g(xj,y)jjλ=g(y)nnλ. Then φ(yλGn)=g(y)nnλGn. We abbreviate g(y)nnλ as g(y)nλ. Let hnλ(y)=g(y)nλy−λ. Then φ(yλGn)=hnλ(y)yλGn. Let φ(˜Dk(xjyη))=∑nk=1bkGk, where bk∈U. Note that
[Gj,yηGj+˜Dk(xjyη)]=yηGn | (3.8) |
Applying φ to (3.8) yields
(−1)degφ[Gj,φ(yηGj)+n∑k=1bkGk]=φ(yηGn). | (3.9) |
Since g(xj,y)jjλ=g(y)nnλ, we know g(xj,y)jjη∈T(m). We may abbreviate g(xj,y)jjη as g(y)jη. Let hjη(y)=g(y)jηy−η. It follows from (3.9) that
(−1)degφhjη(y)yηGn+(−1)degφn∑k=1Gj(bk)Gk=hnη(y)yηGn. |
Then Gj(bn)=(−hjη(y)+(−1)degφhnη(y))yη and Gj(bi)=0,i∈J. Therefore, bn=(−hjη(y)+(−1)degφhnη(y))yηxj+qn with Gj(qn)=0. Then
φ(˜Dk(xjyη))=n∑k=1bkGk=(−hjη(y)+(−1)degφhnη(y))yηxjGn+qnGn+∑i∈JbiGi. |
Applying φ to [yλG,yηGj+˜Dk(xjyη)]=yλ+ηGn yields
[φ(yλG),yηGj+˜Dk(xjyη)]+(−1)degφ[yλG,φ(yηGj)+φ(˜Dk(xjyη))]=φ(yλ+ηGn). |
A calculation shows that
hjλ(y)+hnη(y)=hn(λ+η)(y). | (3.10) |
Particularly, hjλ(y)+hnλ(y)=hn(2λ)(y)=hnλ(y)+hnλ(y). Therefore, hjλ(y)=hnλ(y) for j∈J. Consequently, we may abbreviate hiλ(y) as hλ(y) for i∈Y. Then the Eq (3.10) can be equivalent to
hλ(y)+hη(y)=hλ+η(y), | (3.11) |
for λ,η∈G. Therefore, for k∈Y,c∈Π, we have
hczk(y)=chzk(y). | (3.12) |
Let λ=∑mj=1λjzj∈G. It follows from (3.11) and (3.12) that
hλ(y)=hλ1z1+...+λmzm(y)=m∑j=1λjhzj(y). | (3.13) |
We abbreviate hzj(y) as hj(y) for j=1,...,m. Let θ=(h1(y),...,hm(y))∈Θ. It follows from (3.13) that hλ(y)=∑mj=1λjhzj(y)=˜θ(λ). Therefore,
φ(˜Dk(yλ))=φ(yλGn)=hλ(y)yλGn=˜θ(λ)yλGn=Dθ(˜Dk(yλ)). |
Lemma 3.9. Let φ∈h(Dert(¯K)), t∈N. Then there exist B∈NorW(¯K)={x∈W|[x,¯K]⊆¯K} and θ∈Θ such that φ=adB+Dθ.
Proof. Assume that for every k∈J, φ(Gk)=∑ni=1fikGi, where fik∈U and φ(Gn)=−(−1)degφ∑ni=1finGi, where fin∈U. For k≠l∈Y, applying φ to [Gk,Gl]=0 yields
Gl(fik)=−Gk(fil) |
for all i∈Y. It follows from lemma 3.7 that there exist gi(i=1,...,n) such that
Gk(gi)=fik,k∈J,Gn(gi)=−fin. |
Let B=−(−1)degφ∑ni=1giGi. Then for any k∈J,
adB(Gk)=[B,Gk]=n∑i=1fikGi=φ(Gk),adB(Gn)=[B,Gn]=−(−1)degφn∑i=1finGi=φ(Gn). |
Therefore, φ(Gj)=adB(Gj) for all j∈Y. Namely, (φ−adB)(Gj)=0 for all j∈Y. According to lemma 3.8, there exists θ∈Θ such that
(φ−adB)(˜Dk(yλ))=Dθ(˜Dk(yλ)) |
for all λ∈G. Let ϕ=φ−adB−Dθ. We use induction on j to prove ϕ(¯Kj)=0,j=−2,−1,0,...,n−2. A direct computation shows that ϕ(¯K−2)=0. Assume that j≥−1. For any ξ∈¯Kj, let [ξ,Gn]=ξ1. Applying ϕ to this equation, we obtain
[ϕ(ξ),Gn]+(−1)degϕdegξ[ξ,ϕ(Gn)]=ϕ(ξ1). |
It follows from the induction hypothesis that ϕ(ξ1)=0. Since ϕ(Gn)=0, we have [ϕ(ξ),Gn]=0. Then ϕ(ξ)∈¯K−1⋂¯Kj+t={0}. Therefore, ϕ(ξ)=0. Since the choice of ξ was arbitrary, we have ϕ(¯Kj)=0. Consequently, φ=adB+Dθ.
Lemma 3.10. Let ˆK(n,m)={∑j∈YfjGj∈W|Gi(fj)=−Gj(fi)+(−1)degfδijGn(f),i,j∈J}. Then ¯K(n,m)=ˆK(n,m).
Proof. Assume that ∑j∈YfjGj∈ˆK(n,m). According to lemma 3.7, there exists 0≠f∈U such that Gi(f)=fi for all i∈J. Therefore, ∑j∈YfjGj=∑j∈JGj(f)Gj+fnGn∈¯K(n,m). Then ˆK(n,m)⊆¯K(n,m).
Conversely, let ˜Dk(f)=∑ni=1fiGi∈¯K(n,m). For i,j∈J,
Gi(fj)=Gi((−1)degfGj(f))=(−1)degf(−GjGi(f)+δijGn(f))=−Gj((−1)degfGi(f))+(−1)degfδijGn(f)=−Gj(fi)+(−1)degfδijGn(f). |
Therefore, ˜Dk(f)∈ˆK(n,m). Then ¯K(n,m)⊆ˆK(n,m).
Consequently, ¯K(n,m)=ˆK(n,m).
Proposition 3.11. Let t∈N. Then Dert(¯K)=ad(¯Kt)+Ω.
Proof. It suffices to prove that Dert(¯K)⊆ad(¯Kt)+Ω. Let φ∈Dert(¯K). By virtue of Lemma 3.9, there exists B∈NorW(¯K) such that φ(Gk)=adB(Gk), for k∈Y. Assume that B=∑nj=1gjGj and plug it into the following equation, i.e.,
(−1)degBdegGj[Gj,[Gi,B]]+(−1)degGjdegGi[Gi,[B,Gj]],+(−1)degGidegB[B,[Gj,Gi]]=0 |
for i,j∈J. Accordingly, we have Gi(fj)+Gj(fi)−(−1)degfδijGn(f)=0,i,j∈J. Therefore, B∈¯K(n,m). By virtue of Lemma 3.9, φ=adB+Dθ∈ad¯K+Ω. Then Dert(¯K)⊆ad(¯Kt)+Ω. Consequently, Dert(¯K)=ad(¯Kt)+Ω.
Lemma 3.12. The following statements hold:
(1) Ω is a subspace of Der(¯K).
(2) ad(¯K)⋂Ω={0}.
Proof. The proof is completely analogous to [20, Lemma 3.11].
Theorem 3.13. Der(¯K)=ad(¯K′)⊕Ω, where ¯K′=¯K−2⊕⊕n−2i=1¯Ki.
Proof. By virtue of Propositions 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.11 and Lemma 3.12, this theorem can be easily proved.
Proposition 3.14. K(n,m) is invariant under Der(¯K).
Proof. Let ϕ∈Ω. Obviously, ϕ(K)⊆K.
Let ϕ∈ad(¯K′). Without loss of generality, we may suppose that ϕ=adf, where f∈¯K′⊆¯K. Since K is a derived algebra of ¯K, K is an ideal of ¯K. Therefore, ϕ(K)=adf(K)=[f,K]⊆K.
Since Der(¯K)=ad(¯K′)⊕Ω, we have ϕ(K)⊆K for any ϕ∈Der(¯K). Namely, K(n,m) is invariant under Der(¯K).
An immediate corollary of this proposition is the following.
Corollary 3.15. Der(¯K)|K⊆Der(K).
Remark. If m=0, then derivation superalgebras of modular Lie superalgebras K(n), which were mentioned in [22], will be obtained.
