Maximal subalgebras for modular graded Lie superalgebras of odd Cartan type (Q897149)

Lie superalgebras are an important class of nonassociative algebras, which are closely related to many branches of mathematics. Lie superalgebras of Cartan type are important simple modular Lie (super)algebras. This paper is devoted to studying maximal graded subalgebras of restricted Lie superalgebras of Cartan type. The authors determine maximal graded subalgebras of the four infinite series of simple modular Lie superalgebras over a field of characteristic \(p>3\). They give necessary and sufficient conditions for two maximal graded subalgebras to be conjugate, and then give a classification of maximal graded subalgebras of these Lie superalgebras under conjugation. They also give the conjugate classes and dimension formulas for all maximal graded subalgebras except for irreducible maximal graded subalgebras. These four series form a remarkable class of simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, called the Lie superalgebras of odd Cartan type, since they occur (among finite-dimensional algebras) neither in the ``non-super'' case, nor in the case of characteristic zero. Thus, the classification of maximal graded subalgebras of these algebras is meaningful. Since the Lie superalgebras of odd Cartan type are generated by their ``local part'', the classification follows by a ``degree reduction'' technique. The structure of 1-gradation as a module of 0-gradation is described. Then all maximal graded subalgebras are completely determined by virtue of a constructive method and the method of weight space decompositions.
