TL;DR
The work addresses the local-to-global behavior of derivations and automorphisms on the super-Virasoro algebras SVir[ε]. By first analyzing the Virasoro subalgebra and then extending to SVir[0] and SVir[1/2], the authors prove that all local derivations are derivations and all local or 2-local automorphisms are automorphisms, highlighting a rigidity phenomenon in these Lie superalgebras. The results rely on decomposing local maps via inner derivations and exploiting the known automorphism structure from Zhao's classification. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the local structure determining global symmetries in infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, with potential implications for representation theory and mathematical physics. The methods illustrate how local-to-global arguments can enforce strong constraints on algebra homomorphisms in the super setting.
Abstract
This paper aims to study the local derivations, 2-local automorphisms and local automorphisms on the super-Virasoro algebras. The primary focus is to establish that every local derivation of the super-Virasoro algebras is indeed a derivation, and to demonstrate that every local or 2-local automorphism of the super-Virasoro algebras is an automorphism.
