\(\delta \)-superderivations of simple finite-dimensional Jordan and Lie superalgebras (Q619317): Difference between revisions

A linear map \(\mu\) of an algebra \(A\) into itself is called a \(\delta\)-derivation if \(\mu(xy)=\delta(\mu(x)y+x\mu(y)),\) where \(\delta\) is a fixed element of the ground field, \(x,y\in A\). The notion of a \(\delta\)-superderivation is a generalization of this notion: a homogeneous element \(\mu\) of the \(Z_2\)-graded endomorphism space of a superalgebra \(A\) into itself is called a \(\delta\)-superderivation if \(\mu(xy)=\delta(\mu(x)y+(-1)^{p(x)p(\mu)}x\mu(y)),\) where \(p(c)\) is the parity of \(c.\) Natural examples of \(\delta\)-superderivations are as follows. For a Lie superalgebra \(L\) and a fixed element \(x\in L_1\) the adjoint mapping \(\text{ad}_x: y\mapsto xy\) is a \(1\)-superderivation of \(L\) having parity \(p(ad_x)=1.\) For any superalgebra of characteristic \(\neq 2\) the multiplication by an element of the ground field is an even \(\frac{1}{2}\)-superderivation. A nonzero \(\delta\)-superderivation is called nontrivial if it is not a \(1\)- or \(0\)-derivation nor an element of the centroid. The author of the paper under review described \(\delta\)-derivations of simple finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras in [Algebra Logic 46, No. 5, 318--329 (2007); translation from Algebra Logika, 46, No. 5, 585--605 (2007; Zbl 1164.17020)] and \(\delta\)-derivations of classical Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field \(F\) of characteristic 0 in [Sib. Mat. Zh. 50, No. 3, 547--565 (2009); translation in Sib. Math. J. 50, No. 3, 434--449 (2009; Zbl 1221.17019)]. In this paper \(\delta\)-derivations of Cartan-type Lie superalgebras are considered, as well as \(\delta\)-superderivations of simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras and Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. It is proved that nontrivial \(\delta\)-(super)derivations are missing in these classes of superalgebras, and, as a consequence, \(\delta\)-superderivations are trivial on the simple finite-dimensional noncommutative Jordan superalgebras of degree at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
