Relations and deformations of odd Hamiltonian superalgebras (Q1280685)

The odd Hamiltonian superalgebra \(H=H(0,n)\) and its principal nilpotent subalgebra \(N\) are considered. The main results are: \(\dim H^2(H,H)=1\) and the cocycle defines a nontrivial global deformation of \(H\). The formulae for the cocycle and the deformation are written explicitly. Also it is proven that the subspace \(\widetilde H_2(N)\) in \(H_2(N)\) generated by cycles of degree \(\geq 3\) is \(n\)-dimensional. The cycles that give a basis for this subspace are written down explicitly. The paper contains quite detailed computations of the cycles and cocycles in question. The results were partly announced in \textit{N. van den Hijligenberg}, \textit{Yu. Kochetkov} and \textit{G. Post}, Int. J. Algebra Comput. 3, 57-77 (1993; Zbl 0808.17020)].
