Abstract
This paper aims to describe the restricted Kac modules of restricted Hamiltonian Lie superalgebras of odd type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>3\). In particular, a sufficient and necessary condition for the restricted Kac modules to be irreducible is given in terms of typical weights.

I. Let
where \(a_{ji}\in \mathbb {F}.\) If \(\phi =\mathrm {diag}(t,\ldots , t)\in \mathfrak {J},\) then
and
If \(\phi \in \mathrm {SP}(n, \mathbb {F}),\) then for \(1 \le i, j\le n,\) we have \(\sum _{k=1}^{n}a_{ik}a_{j^{\prime }{k^{\prime }}}= \delta _{ij}.\) Then
and
Eqs. (5.2) and (5.4) imply that
Using Eqs. (5.1–5.4) and the fact that \(\phi \) is a \(\mathbb {Z}\)-homogeneous automorphism of \(\mathcal {O}(n)\), we have
Therefore, \(f_{\phi }\in \mathrm {Aut}\left( \overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)\right) .\)
II. As in [7], we have
Then for \(a\in \mathbf {u}(\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n))\) and a highest weight vector \(\upsilon _{\lambda }\) of \(L_{\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)}^{\mathfrak {b}_{0}}(\lambda )\) with respect to \(\mathfrak {b}_{0}\), we can define
Clearly, \(I_{\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)}(\lambda )_{\bar{i}},\,i=0, 1\), is a \(\mathfrak {T}\)-module and
We claim that the action of \(\mathfrak {T}\) on \(\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)\) coincides with that of \(\bar{\mathfrak {h}}.\) For
we can check the following equations:
Summarizing, the action of \(\mathfrak {T}\) on \(\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)\) coincides with that on \(\bar{\mathfrak {h}}.\) Then \(I_{\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)}(\lambda )\) is a \(\left( \mathbf {u}(\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)),\mathfrak {T}\right) \)-module. Similarly, \(L_{\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)}^{\mathfrak {b}_{i}}(\lambda )\) is also a \(\left( \mathbf {u}(\overline{\mathfrak {le}}(n)),\mathfrak {T}\right) \)-module, \( 0 \!\le \! i\!\le \! 2n\).
