On split Leibniz superalgebras

We study the structure of arbitrary split Leibniz superalgebras. We show that any of such superalgebras L is of the form L=U+∑jIj with U a subspace of an abelian (graded) subalgebra H and any Ij a well described (graded) ideal of L satisfying [Ij,Ik]=0 if j≠k. In the case of L being of maximal length, the simplicity of L is also characterized in terms of connections of roots.
