Double extensions of restricted Lie (super)algebras

Abstract

A double extension ($\mathscr{D}$ extension) of a Lie (super)algebra $\mathfrak a$ with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form $\mathscr{B}$, briefly: a NIS-(super)algebra, is an enlargement of $\mathfrak a$ by means of a central extension and a derivation; the affine Kac-Moody algebras are the best known examples of double extensions of loops algebras. Let $\mathfrak a$ be a restricted Lie (super)algebra with a NIS $\mathscr{B}$. Suppose $\mathfrak a$ has a restricted derivation $\mathscr{D}$ such that $\mathscr{B}$ is $\mathscr{D}$-invariant. We show that the double extension of $\mathfrak a$ constructed by means of $\mathscr{B}$ and $\mathscr{D}$ is restricted. We show that, the other way round, any restricted NIS-(super)algebra with non-trivial center can be obtained as a $\mathscr{D}$-extension of another restricted NIS-(super)algebra subject to an extra condition on the central element. We give new examples of $\mathscr{D}$-extensions of restricted Lie (super)algebras, and pre-Lie superalgebras indigenous to characteristic 3.
