HNN extensions of Lie superalgebras

Rings and Algebras 2025-09-10 v1

Abstract

We explicitly describe the structure of HNN extensions of Lie superalgebras. We specify their bases. Moreover, we prove that the HNN extension is a direct sum of two subalgebras: original Lie superalgebra, and the free Lie superalgebra, which free generators are explicitly described. We apply this result to study finite generation of an ideal in a finitely presented Lie superalgebra. As an important tool, we develop Gr\"obner-Shirshov basis theory for Lie superalgebras by establishing a normal form theorem in terms of admissible bracketings.
