None of these facts is necessarily true for simple Lie superalgebras. We reformulate Chevalley's theorem so as to embrace Lie superalgebras. Chevalley's theorem for anti-invariant polynomials is also given.28 p., LatexRepresentation TheoryCommutative Algebra17A70 (Primary) 17B35, 13A50 (Secondary)text
