Introduction Let g be a complex Lie algebra and the adjoint and coadjoint representations of g , respectively It is known that the semidirect product given by: g = g⊕ g* of g and g* by ad * is a Lie algebra with the bracket X + f ,Y + g = X,Y + ad * (X ) (g) − ad * (Y ) ( f ) , More particularly, we have X,Y = g X,Y , g f , g for all X ,Y ∈ g =0 g, ∀ X,Y ∈ g, f , g ∈ g* X, f = − f g oa d(X ) and f , g ∈ g Remark that g is also a quadratic Lie algebra * with invariant symmetric bilinear form B defined by: B(X + f ,Y + g) = f (Y ) + g(X ) ∀ X,Y ∈ g, f , g ∈ g* , In 1985, A Medina and P Revoy gave the notion of double extension to completely characterize all quadratic Lie algebras [9] This notion is regarded as a generalization of the Tạp chí KHOA HỌC ĐHSP TPHCM Số 51 năm 2013 _ of _

these two notions for Lie superalgebras In particular, we present a way to obtain a quadratic Lie superalgebra since a Lie algebra and a symplectic vector space It is regarded as a rather special case of the notion of generalized double extension in [1] In a slight change of the notion of T*-extension, we give a manner of how to get an odd-quadratic Lie superalgebra from a Lie algebra In the last section, we introduce an approach to quadratic Lie algebras by the cohomology given in [9] and [10] From this, we give an explanation of the structure of double extension as well as it allows us to construct new quadratic Lie algebra structures from a given quadratic Lie algebra Quadratic Lie algebras Definintion 2.1 Let g be a Lie algebra A bilinear form B : g× g → is called: (i) £ symmetric if B(X,Y) = B(Y, X) for all X,Y ∈g , (ii) non-degenerate if B(X,Y) = for all Y ∈g implies X = , (iii) invariant if B([X,Y], Z) = B(X,[Y, Z]) for all X,Y, Z ∈g A Lie algebra g is called quadratic if there exists a bilinear form B on g such that B is symmetric, non-degenerate and invariant Definition 2.2 Let (g, B) be a quadratic Lie algebra and D be a derivation of g We say D a skew-symmetric

We check first that the bracket satisfies the super-antisymmetric property X + f ,Y + g ∈g0 then Y , X = −(−1)xy[Y , X ] , ∀X ∈gx ,Y ∈ gy Indeed, if X + f ,Y + g = X ,Y + ad*( X )(g) − ad*(Y )( f ) =
