Derivations and quasi-derivations of Block Lie superalgebras S(q)
Abstract
We compute the homogeneous derivations and the homogeneous quasi-derivations of the Block Lie superalgebras S(q), whose even part is the Block Lie algebra ℬ(q). For every q∈ℂ, the space Derθ(S(q)) is the direct sum of the inner derivations and an explicitly given finite-dimensional space of outer derivations; in particular, for q≠0 a new odd outer derivation appears if and only if q∈2ℤ*. For q∈ℂ* we prove that QDer(S(q))=Der(S(q))⊕⟨ id⟩ if q∉ℤ, and that for q∈ℤ* the superalgebra S(q) has an infinite-dimensional space of nontrivial quasi-derivations, namely all graded linear maps with values in the center. For q=0 we also describe all homogeneous quasi-derivations: modulo maps with values in the center, they are spanned by id, three further maps and infinite families of maps shifting the ℤ2-grading; in particular, QDer(S(0))/Der(S(0)) is infinite-dimensional. As corollaries, we obtain the complete description of homogeneous δ-derivations of S(q), q≠0, and prove that, in contrast with the Block Lie algebras ℬ(q), the superalgebras S(q), q≠0, do not admit nontrivial transposed δ-Poisson superalgebra structures for any δ∉{0,1}.

AB - We compute the homogeneous derivations and the homogeneous quasi-derivations of the Block Lie superalgebras S(q), whose even part is the Block Lie algebra ℬ(q). For every q∈ℂ, the space Der_θ(S(q)) is the direct sum of the inner derivations and an explicitly given finite-dimensional space of outer derivations; in particular, for q≠0 a new odd outer derivation appears if and only if q∈2ℤ^*. For q∈ℂ^* we prove that QDer(S(q))=Der(S(q))⊕⟨ id⟩ if q∉ℤ, and that for q∈ℤ^* the superalgebra S(q) has an infinite-dimensional space of nontrivial quasi-derivations, namely all graded linear maps with values in the center. For q=0 we also describe all homogeneous quasi-derivations: modulo maps with values in the center, they are spanned by id, three further maps and infinite families of maps shifting the ℤ^2-grading; in particular, QDer(S(0))/Der(S(0)) is infinite-dimensional. As corollaries, we obtain the complete description of homogeneous δ-derivations of S(q), q≠0, and prove that, in contrast with the Block Lie algebras ℬ(q), the superalgebras S(q), q≠0, do not admit nontrivial transposed δ-Poisson superalgebra structures for any δ∉{0,1}.
