Abstract

We consider the finite WW-superalgebra U(g\bbf,e)U(\mathfrak{g_\bbf},e) for a basic Lie superalgebra \bbf=(\bbf)\bz+(\bbf)\bo{\ggg}_\bbf=(\ggg_\bbf)_\bz+(\ggg_\bbf)_\bo associated with a nilpotent element e(\bbf)0ˉe\in (\ggg_\bbf)_{\bar0} both over the field of complex numbers \bbf=C\bbf=\mathbb{C} and over \bbf=\bbk\bbf={\bbk} an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In this paper, we mainly present the PBW theorem for U(\bbf,e)U({\ggg}_\bbf,e). Then the construction of U(\bbf,e)U({\ggg}_\bbf,e) can be understood well, which in contrast with finite WW-algebras, is divided into two cases in virtue of the parity of dimg\bbf(1)1ˉ\text{dim}\,\mathfrak{g_\bbf}(-1)_{\bar1}. This observation will be a basis of our sequent work on the dimensional lower bounds in the super Kac-Weisfeiler property of modular representations of basic Lie superalgebras (cf. \cite[\S7-\S9]{ZS}).
