Commutator of
The commutator of
was defined in 〚Lie superalgebra structure on
〛.
In particular, when considering a commutator of an element of
and an element of
,
the following description is useful.
Consider the
– the universal enveloping algebra of
, and its
dual coalgebra
:
Consider the projector
:
which is identity on
and zero on all tensors of rank
containing at least one
.
This induces a map from
to
which we also
denote
:
For any Lie superalgebra
let
denote the commutator map:
Then, the commutator on
satisfies:

We will now prove that
