Z-graded Hom-Lie Superalgebras

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the notions of Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebras and we show that there is a maximal (resp., minimal) Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebra for a given local hom-Lie superalgebra. Morever, we introduce the invariant bilinear forms on a Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebra and we prove that a consistent supersymmetric α-invariant form on the local part can be extended uniquely to a bilinear form with the same property on the whole Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebra. Furthermore, we check the condition in which the Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebra is simple.
