Abstract

We classify deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie superalgebra \( \mathcal{K} \) (2) of contact vector fields on the (1, 2)-dimensional supercircle into the Lie superalgebra SΨD(S1|2) of pseudodifferential operators on the supercircle S1|2. The proposed approach leads to the deformations of the central charge induced on \( \mathcal{K} \) (2) by the canonical central extension of SΨD(S1|2).
