On the cohomology of the orthosymplectic superalgebra (Q626061)

This paper computes the first cohomology spaces of the orthosymplectic superalgebra. Theses spaces are closely related to infitesimal deformations and are useful for deformation theory. The authors consider the superspace \(K(n)\) of vector fields on \(R^{1| n}\) and restrict the action to the orthosymplectic superalgebra. The cocycles of the first cohomology spaces are explicitely given. The computation is completey detailed.
