Abstract

In this paper, we give the forms of local automorphisms (resp. superderivations) of model filiform Lie superalgebra in the matrix version. Linear 2-local automorphisms (resp. superderivations) of are also characterized. We prove that each linear 2-local automorphism of is an automorphism.

1. Introduction and Basics

As a significant class of nilpotent Lie algebras, filiform Lie algebras were introduced by Vergne [1] and have been studied extensively, see [26] and references in them. Model filiform Lie algebra is the simplest filiform Lie algebra. Vergne proved that each filiform Lie algebra can be obtained by deformations of model filiform Lie algebra (see [1]). Similarly, model filiform Lie superalgebra is the simplest filiform Lie superalgebra.

Automorphisms and superderivations are also important in the study of the structure of Lie superalgebras. In recent years, some new generalized derivations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras were proposed and studied (see [79]). Local automorphisms and local derivations were introduced by Kadison in [10] and Larson and Sourour in [11]. The idea of local came from [12, 13]. The idea of 2-local was introduced by emrl in [14]. Later, more and more results of such problem on various algebras were obtained by many scholars (see [1521] and references in them). In particular, local and 2-local automorphisms (resp. derivations) on some Lie algebras were proved to be automorphisms (resp. derivations) (see [2226]). For Lie superalgebras, such problem were studied in [2730] and some other papers.

In this paper, we will use matrices to study local automorphisms (resp. superderivations) of model filiform Lie superalgebra . We will give concrete forms of local automorphisms (resp. superderivations) of . For finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra with . In [23], Ayupov and Kudaybergenov proved that there is a 2-local automorphism of which is not an automorphism. Then, it is impossible that every 2-local automorphism of Lie superalgebra is an automorphism. But if a 2-local automorphism is linear, then we can prove that it must be an automorphism. So, we add an additional linear condition in the definition of 2-local automorphism, we call it linear 2-local automorphism. We will prove that all linear 2-local automorphisms of are automorphisms. But for 2-local superderivation of , the situation is different. We also add an additional linear condition in the definition of 2-local superderivation, and we call it linear 2-local superderivation. In this paper, we will show that not all linear 2-local superderivations of are superderivations, but they is very close to a superderivations. The same situation also occurs in 2-local automorphisms (resp. derivations) of model filiform Lie algebra . We find that not all linear 2-local automorphisms (resp. derivations) of Lie algebra are automorphisms (resp. derivations), and the linear 2-local automorphisms (resp. derivations) which are not automorphisms (resp. derivations) are very close to automorphisms (resp. derivations).

Model filiform Lie superalgebra is a superalgebra with multiplicationwhere is the homogeneous basis and the other brackets vanished. If we only consider the Lie algebra with a basis, their multiplication are same to (1), then it is the model filiform Lie algebra .

For a Lie superalgebra , a linear bijective map is called an automorphism of Lie superalgebra if

Denote the group consisting of all automorphisms of by . Suppose is a linear map of degree , we call a superderivation of degree if

Denote all superderivations of degree by . The elements of are called superderivations of . Linear map is called a local automorphism (resp. superderivation), if for any , there exists (resp. ) such that . A linear map is called a linear 2-local automorphism (resp. superderivation), if for any , there exists (resp. ) such that and . Denote the group consisting of all local automorphisms of by and the superalgebra consisting of all local superderivations of by , respectively.

Throughout the paper, we assume that . All mappings mentioned in this paper are linear. The matrices of mappings of are all with respect to the homogeneous basis , and the matrices of mappings of are all with respect to the basis . stands for an arbitrary field of characteristic zero, is the set of all nonzero elements of , and is the -dimensional column vector space over . and represent the matrix unit and unit vector, respectively.

Denote block matricesby and , respectively.
