HNN-extension of Lie superalgebras

TL;DR
This work constructs HNN-extensions for Lie superalgebras and proves that each Lie superalgebra embeds into any of its HNN-extensions, using Gröbner–Shirshov basis theory and the Composition–Diamond lemma. The main method replaces subgroup/monomorphism data from groups with subalgebra/derivation data to build the extension and establish embeddability via a careful analysis of Lie compositions. A central result is that every Lie superalgebra embeds into its HNN-extension; as an application, any countable-dimensional Lie superalgebra embeds into a two-generator Lie superalgebra, in line with classical embedding theorems in group theory. The approach provides a conceptual parallel to known results for Lie algebras and extends them to the superalgebra setting, with explicit constructions and derivations guiding the embedding proofs.
Abstract
We construct HNN-extensions of Lie superalgebras and prove that every Lie superalgebra embeds into any of its HNN-extensions. Then as an application we show that any Lie superalgebra with at most countable dimension embeds into a two-generator Lie superalgebra.
