1 Introduction
Let be a Lie algebra over an arbitrary field . An -linear map is a derivation satisfying
[TABLE]
for all . A bilinear map is called a biderivation if it is a derivation with respect to both components, meaning that
[TABLE]
for all . A biderivation is called skew-symmetric if for all . Obviously, if a biderivation is skew-symmetric, we can omit one of the equations (1.1) and (1.2). Meanwhile, we can view or as a derivation of .
The study of biderivations traces back to the research on the commuting map in the associative ring [1], where the author showed that all biderivations on associative prime rings are inner. The notation of biderivations of Lie algebras was introduced in [2]. In recent years, there exist a lot of interests in studying biderivations and commuting maps on Lie algebras[3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Moreover, the authors gave the notion of the skew-symmetric super-biderivation in [11]. So the results about the skew-symmetric super-biderivation of Lie superalgebras arise in [11, 12, 13].
The Cartan modular Lie superalgebra is an important branch of the modular Lie superalgebra, which is a Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . And the contact Lie superalgebra is an important class of Cartan modular Lie superalgebras. There are many research results about the contact Lie superalgebra , such as, derivation superalgebras[14, 15, 16], noncontractible filtrations[17], nondegenerate associative bilinear forms[18].
In this paper, we prove that each skew-symmetric super-biderivation of is inner. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we recall the basic notation. In Section 3, we use the weight space decomposition of with respect to the canonical torus to prove that all skew-symmetric super-biderivation of is inner(Theorem 3.14).
