Abstract

In  the present paper we give a survey of methods for constructing ternary Lie algebras and ternary Lie superalgebras. We also propose a generalization of Nambu-Hamilton equation to a superspace and show that this generalization induces a family of ternary Nambu-Poisson brackets of even degree functions on a superspace. Then we show that the construction of ternary quantum Nambu-Poisson bracket, based on the trace of a matrix, can be extended to matrix Lie superalgebra \(\mathfrak {gl}(m,n)\) by means of the supertrace of a matrix. We propose a generalization of Nambu-Hamilton equation in superspace. We show that this generalization induces a family of ternary Nambu-Poisson brackets, which is defined with the help of Berezinian.
