On split regular Hom-Lie superalgebras

Abstract

We introduce the class of split regular Hom-Lie superalgebras as the natural extension of the one of split Hom-Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras, and study its structure by showing that an arbitrary split regular Hom-Lie superalgebra L is of the form L = U + ∑ j I j with U a linear subspace of a maximal abelian graded subalgebra H and any I j a well described (split) ideal of L satisfying [ I j , I k ] = 0 if j ≠ k . Under certain conditions, the simplicity of L is characterized and it is shown that L is the direct sum of the family of its simple ideals.
