The Push-the-Button Algorithm for Contragredient Lie Superalgebras

Abstract. We apply the idea of the "push-the-button" algorithm, introduced by Chuah and Hu in [J. Algebra 279 (2004), 22-37], to the Vogan superdiagram associated to a contragredient Lie superalgebra. We obtain the Borel-de Siebenthal Theorem in the supersetting, leading to the classification of the real forms of contragredient Lie superalgebras (previously discussed in [V.~G.~Kac, Adv. Math. 26 (1977), 8-96; V.~Serganova, Funkt. Anal. Prilozhen. 17 (1983), 46-54; M.~Parker, J. Math. Phys. 21 (1980), 689-798]).
