Algebraic supergroups of Cartan type
Abstract: I present a construction of connected affine algebraic supergroups G_V associated with simple Lie superalgebras g of Cartan type and with g-modules V. Conversely, I prove that every connected affine algebraic supergroup whose tangent Lie superalgebra is of Cartan type is necessarily isomorphic to one of the supergroups G_V that I introduced. In particular, the supergroup constructed in this way associated with g := W(n) and its standard representation is described somewhat more in detail. In addition, *** an "Erratum" is added here *** after the main text to fix a mistake which was kindly pointed out to the author by prof. Masuoka after the paper was published: this "Erratum" is accepted for publication in "Forum Mathematicum", it appears here in its final form (but prior to proofreading). In it, I also explain more in detail the Existence Theorem for algebraic supergroups of Cartan type which comes out of the main result in the original paper.
