A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form will be called a NIS-Lie (super)algebra. The double extension of a NIS-Lie (super)algebra is the result of simultaneously adding to it a central element and an outer derivation so that the larger algebra has also a NIS. Affine loop algebras, Lie (super)algebras with symmetrizable Cartan matrix over any field, Manin triples, symplectic reflection (super)algebras are among the Lie (super)algebras suitable to be doubly extended. We consider double extensions of Lie superalgebras in characteristic 2, and concentrate on peculiarities of these notions related with the possibility for the bilinear form, the center, and the derivation to be odd. Two Lie superalgebras we discovered by this method are indigenous to the characteristic 2.

As is well-known, the dimension of the space spanned by the non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear forms (NISes) on any simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra or Lie superalgebra is equal to at most 1 if the characteristic of the algebraically closed ground field is not 2. We prove that in characteristic 2, the superdimension of the space spanned by NISes can be equal to 0, or 1, or $0|1$, or $1|1$; it is equal to $1|1$ if and only if the Lie superalgebra is a queerification (defined in arXiv:1407.1695) of a simple classically restricted Lie algebra with a NIS (for examples, mainly in characteristic distinct from 2, see arXiv:1806.05505). We give examples of NISes on deformations (with both even and odd parameters) of several simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras in characteristic 2. We also recall examples of multiple NISes on simple Lie algebras over non-closed fields.
A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form $B$ is called a nis-(super)algebra. The double extension $mathfrak{g}$ of a nis-(super)algebra $mathfrak{a}$ is the result of simultaneous adding to $mathfrak{a}$ a central element and a derivation so that $mathfrak{g}$ is a nis-algebra. Loop algebras with values in simple complex Lie algebras are most known among the Lie (super)algebras suitable to be doubly extended. In characteristic 2 the notion of double extension acquires specific features. Restricted Lie (super)algebras are among the most interesting modular Lie superalgebras. In characteristic 2, using Grozmans Mathematica-based package SuperLie, we list double extensions of restricted Lie superalgebras preserving the non-degenerate closed 2-forms with constant coefficients. The results are proved for the number of indeterminates ranging from 4 to 7 - sufficient to conjecture the pattern for larger numbers. Considering multigradings allowed us to accelerate computations up to 100 times.
Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic, for simple Lie (super)algebras, and certain Lie (super)algebras close to simple ones, with symmetric root systems (such that for each root, there is minus it of the same multiplicity) and of ranks most needed in an approach to the classification of simple vectorial Lie superalgebras, we list the outer derivations and nontrivial central extensions. When the answer is clear for the infinite series, it is given for any rank. We also list the outer derivations and nontrivial central extensions of one series of nonsymmetric, namely, periplectic Lie superalgebras (of any rank) preserving the nondegenerate supersymmetric odd bilinear forms, and of the Lie algebras obtained from periplectic Lie superalgebras by desuperization when the characteristic of the ground field is equal to 2. We also list the outer derivations and nontrivial central extensions of an analog of the rank 2 exceptional Lie algebra discovered by Shen Guangyu. Several results are counterintuitive.
A double extension ($mathscr{D}$ extension) of a Lie (super)algebra $mathfrak a$ with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form $mathscr{B}$, briefly: a NIS-(super)algebra, is an enlargement of $mathfrak a$ by means of a central extension and a derivation; the affine Kac-Moody algebras are the best known examples of double extensions of loops algebras. Let $mathfrak a$ be a restricted Lie (super)algebra with a NIS $mathscr{B}$. Suppose $mathfrak a$ has a restricted derivation $mathscr{D}$ such that $mathscr{B}$ is $mathscr{D}$-invariant. We show that the double extension of $mathfrak a$ constructed by means of $mathscr{B}$ and $mathscr{D}$ is restricted. We show that, the other way round, any restricted NIS-(super)algebra with non-trivial center can be obtained as a $mathscr{D}$-extension of another restricted NIS-(super)algebra subject to an extra condition on the central element. We give new examples of $mathscr{D}$-extensions of restricted Lie (super)algebras, and pre-Lie superalgebras indigenous to characteristic 3.
We present new constructions of several of the exceptional simple Lie superalgebras in characteristic $p = 3$ and $p = 5$ by considering the images of exceptional Lie algebras with a nilpotent derivation under the semisimplification functor from $mathrm{Rep} mathbf{alpha}_p$ to the Verlinde category $mathrm{Ver}_p$.
