The second author gave a formula for the elements of the enveloping algebra of a Lie superalgebra defined by Gorelik under an appropriate unimodularity assumption. We show that this formula is a particular case of a formula for the Jacobian of the exponential map of a symmetric superspace.
We prove that a universal symmetric solution of the Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture is unique up to order one. in the Appendix by the second author, this result is used to show that solutions of the Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture for quadratic Lie algebras existing in the literature are not universal.
A class of representations of a Lie superalgebra (over a commutative superring) in its symmetric algebra is studied. As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this theorem to a class of nilpotent Lie superalgebras. Other applications are presented. Our results are new already for Lie algebras.
