Summary: In these notes we give an introduction to representation theory of simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras. We concentrate on so called basic superalgebras. Those are superalgebras which have even reductive part and admit an invariant form. We start with structure theory of basic superalgebras emphasizing abstract properties of roots and then proceed to representations, trying to demonstrate the variety of methods: Harish-Chandra homomorphism, support variety, translation functors, Borel-Weil-Bott theory and localization.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1387.17001].
