Abstract
Let g be a finite dimensional special odd Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb{F}\) of characteristic p > 3. The sufficient and necessary condition is given for g possessing a nondegenerate associative form and in this case the second cohomology group H2(g, \(H^2 (\mathfrak{g},\mathbb{F})\)) is completely determined.
