Multipliers, covers, and stem extensions for Lie superalgebras

Abstract

Suppose that the underlying field is of characteristic different from 2 and 3. We first prove that the so-called stem deformations of a free presentation of a finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra L exhaust all the maximal stem extensions of L; up to equivalence of extensions. Then we prove that multipliers and covers always exist for a Lie superalgebra and they are unique up to superalgebra isomorphisms. Finally, we describe the multipliers, covers, and maximal stem extensions of Heisenberg superalgebras and model filiform Lie superalgebras.

Key words： Multiplier; cover; stem extension; Heisenberg superalgebra; filiform Lie supleralgebra
