Odd central extensions of Lie superalgebras (Q1916675)

The author reduces the calculation of the second cohomology group of a Lie superalgebra with coefficients in an odd module to the calculation of the first cohomology group of the even part of this superalgebra with coefficients in the dual module of the odd part such that many of the known central extensions of Lie algebras can be interpreted as odd supercentral extensions of the corresponding Lie superalgebras.
