References for Lie superalgebras Does anybody know good references to learn about Lie superalgebras?  I started with Howe's "Remarks on classical invariant theory", which contains a study of osp(m,2n), and now I am reading Kac's '77 Advances paper.  I wonder if there are other helpful sources.  I am especially interested in getting a feel for the representation theory.
 A: Have you seen the survey by Frappat-Sciarrino-Sorba, "Dictionary on Lie Superalgebras" listed here?
When you have collected more references, please feel encouraged to add them to that list there...
A: *

*D. Leites,  Lie superalgebras, J. Soviet Math. 30 (1985), 2481-2512 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02249121 ] - a survey.

*M. Scheunert, The theory of Lie superalgebras. An introduction, Lect. Notes Math. 716 (1979) [should be available online].

A: I like the book Varadarajan: "Supersymmetry for Mathematicians: An Introduction", but that tries to explain different aspects of supersymmetry used by physicists besides Lie superalgebras you may or may not be interested in.
A: For a quick, self-learning introduction you can take a look at Alberto Elduque's talks and papers in

Alberto Elduque’s Research
starting first with the talk called "Simple modular Lie superalgebras; Encuentro Matemático Hispano-Marroquí (Casablanca, 2008)." 
A: By request, I have moved Kaplansky's never-quite-published writings on Lie and Jordan superalgebras to one of my sites, in this case 
http://zakuski.math.utsa.edu/~kap/superalgebra.html 
I also posted some of his correspondence with Kevin McCrimmon 
A: The representation theory has been developed by a number of people,
including Jon Brundan and Sasha Kleschchev at U. Oregon.    Take a look at
the publication list Brundan has (with PDF files) on his homepage:
