Abstract

Let \((g,~[-,-],~\omega )\) be a finite-dimensional complex \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebra. In this paper, we introduce the notions of derivation superalgebra \({\mathrm{Der}}(g)\) and the automorphism group \({\mathrm{Aut}}(g)\) of \((g,~[-,-],~\omega )\). We study \({\mathrm{Der}}^{\omega }(g)\) and \({\mathrm{Aut}}^{\omega }(g)\), which are superalgebra of \({\mathrm{Der}}(g)\) and subgroup of \({\mathrm{Aut}}(g)\), respectively. For any 3-dimensional or 4-dimensional complex \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebra g, we explicitly calculate \({\mathrm{Der}}(g)\) and \({\mathrm{Aut}}(g)\), and obtain Jordan standard forms of elements in the two sets. We also study representation theory of \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebras and give a conclusion that all nontrivial non-\(\omega \)-Lie 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebras are multiplicative, as well as we show that any irreducible respresentation of the 4-dimensional \(\omega \)-Lie superalgebra \(P_{2,k}(k\ne 0,-1)\) is 1-dimensional.
