Abstract:
Let be a finite dimensional Lie superalgebra over a field of characteristic zero. Let be the enveloping algebra of . We show that when , then is not semiprime, but it has a unique minimal prime ideal; it follows then that when is classically simple, has a unique minimal prime ideal. We further show that when is a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebra, then has a unique minimal prime ideal.
