Abstract

Derived brackets provide a mechanism for generating algebraic structures from graded Lie superalgebras, with applications in Poisson geometry, mathematical physics, and the theory of algebroids. In this paper, we present a complete structural and isomorphism classification of a family of Lie algebras constructed from the general linear Lie superalgebra glmn\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n} over a field K\mathbb{K} of characteristic zero via the derived bracket generated by an odd element BB satisfying B2=0B^2 = 0, which endows g1\mathfrak{g}_{-1} with a Lie algebra structure denoted g1B\mathfrak{g}_{-1}^{B}. We prove that for fixed dimensions mm and nn, the isomorphism type of g1B\mathfrak{g}_{-1}^{B} is entirely determined by r=rank(B)r=\operatorname{rank}(B). In arbitrary dimensions, two such algebras are isomorphic if and only if they share the same rank rr and satisfy {m,n}={p,q}\{m,n\}=\{p,q\}. We explicitly compute the Levi-Malcev decomposition, proving the semisimple Levi factor is isomorphic to sl(r)\mathfrak{sl}(r), and provide exact formulas for the solvable radical and center.
