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:
In case of , we can consider as
a subspace in using the projector of Eq. (45):
Then, the commutator on satisfies:

Nilpotence of
We will now prove that anticommutes with :
When ,
by definition . We must therefore check that :
