Super-derivations and associated standard super-potentials (Q2466819)

The author considers a system on a lattice with fermionic grading, which may describe a finite number of fermions and finite dimensional bosonic objects (such as Pauli spins) on each lattice site. A super-derivation is defined as a derivation with twist by grading. For each such super-derivation with the set of local operators as its domain, the existence of associated super-potentials is proved. The relation between the standard super-potential of a super-derivation and the standard potential for a square of the super-potential is obtained. As a consequence, a necessary and sufficient condition for a super-derivation to be nilpotent is obtained in terms of the corresponding standard super potential.
