Cohomology of Heisenberg Lie Superalgebras

Suppose the ground field to be algebraically closed and of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. All Heisenberg Lie superalgebras consist of two super versions of the Heisenberg Lie algebras, $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ and $\frak{ba}_n$ with $m$ a nonnegative integer and $n$ a positive integer. The space of a "classical" Heisenberg Lie superalgebra $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ is the direct sum of a superspace with a non-degenerate anti-supersymmetric even bilinear form and a one-dimensional space of values of this form constituting the even center. The other super analog of the Heisenberg Lie algebra, $\frak{ba}_n$, is constructed by means of a non-degenerate anti-supersymmetric odd bilinear form with values in the one-dimensional odd center. In this paper, we study the cohomology of $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ and $\frak{ba}_n$ with coefficients in the trivial module by using the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequences relative to a suitable ideal. In characteristic zero case, for any Heisenberg Lie superalgebra, we determine completely the Betti numbers and associative superalgebra structure for their cohomology. In characteristic $p>3$ case, we determine the associative superalgebra structures for the divided power cohomology of $\frak{ba}_n$ and we also make an attempt to determine the cohomology of $\frak{h}_{2m,n}$ by computing it in a low-dimensional case.Comment: 19 page

Transmission area and two-photon correlated imaging

The relationship between transmission area of an object imaged and the visibility of its image is investigated in a lensless system. We show that the changes of the visibility are quite different when the transmission area is varied by different manners. An increase of the transmission by adding the slit number leads to a decrease of the visibility. While, the change is adverse when the slit width is widened for a given distance between two slits.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
