. To the IUM main page . We describe real simple Z-graded Lie superalgebras of vector fields with polynomial coefficients. Unlike the nonsuper case some simple complex Lie superalgebras of vector fields have more than one real form or have no real forms at all. We show that the number of real forms also depends on the Z-grading: one can not consider real forms of just an abstract vectorial Lie superalgebra! One has to indicate a grading preserved.

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...
