What are the simple Lie superalgebras of type E?
Background
Simple finite dimensional Lie superalgebras over $\Bbb C$ have been classified. There are the Cartan type superalgebras (algebras of purely odd vector fields), two stra …

Definition of the supertrace in superalgebra representations
Let us consider a matrix superalgebra $A$ with generators satisfying $[L_a,L_b]=i L_c f^c{}_{ab}.$ The generators are matrices on which supertrace is defined bu the usual trace on …

Is there a definition of analogue Weyl group for Lie super algebra?
I heard from some people working in Lie super algebra that there was no proper definition for Weyl group of Lie super algebra. I do not know Lie super algebra at all. But When I se …

Do all finite $W$-superalgebras have 1-dimensional representations?
Premet proved the famous KW-conjecture in modular Lie algebra.
After, Premet introduced the finite $W$-algebra $U(g, e)$.
Also, Premet proposed the conjecture every algebra $U(g, …

Is there much theory of superalgebras acting on manifolds by alternating polyvector fields?
Usual story: vector fields on $M$, with their Lie bracket, form a Lie algebra. We can consider "actions" of some other Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ on $M$ by looking at Lie homomorp …

Building Lie-like algebras from modules over semisimple Lie algebras
Here is a construction of a very broad class of "Lie-like" algebras, and I want to know more about them.
Here is the main definition: Suppose $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex semsimpl …
