Abstract

For each of the exceptional (not entering infinite series) finite-dimensional modular Lie superalgebras with indecomposable Cartan matrix, we give the explicit list of its roots, and the corresponding Chevalley basis, for one of its inequivalent Cartan matrices, namely the one corresponding to the greatest number of mutually orthogonal isotropic odd simple roots (this number, called the defect of the Lie superalgebra, is important in the representation theory). Our main tools: Grozman’s Mathematica-based code SuperLie, Python, and A. Lebedev’s help.
