The p_n case is the most delicate because it depends on the full first fundamental theorem for the periplectic supergroup, a deep result that is cited rather than proved. However, this is a known theorem and the paper's conclusion for p_n is independently known (Scheunert), so the risk is not that the theorem is false, but that the paper's proof may silently inherit an unstated hypothesis.

For gl_{m|n}, q_n and osp_{2m+1|2n} the surjectivity of Ψ_k is a classical Schur-Sergeev duality fact, cited as Theorem 2.9.

The approach is also cross-validated: the Harish-Chandra isomorphism is used as an independent check on generation, and Example 3.24 gives a fully explicit sign computation in the p_n case. The principal new technical content is the reduction of the triviality of Z(p_n) to a symmetric-group/Brauer-diagram lemma; this is the part that most needs careful verification (see Major comments 1 and 3).

The individual generator systems were known; the paper makes the connection explicit and shows how all central elements come from the centralizer algebras.\n\nThe main caveat is that the p_n case rests on the surjectivity of the Periplectic Brauer algebra action, imported from [5] and [7]. The paper states this as part of Theorem 2.9 but does not list the exact hypotheses—all k, or only k ≤ n? If those sources only prove the FFT for a restricted range, the p_n argument would not cover all degrees. I did not find evidence of such a restriction in the literature; Coulembier's paper appears to give the full centralizer theorem. Still, the authors should state the precise conditions and verify that k is arbitrary.

Consequently every Casimir element can be built from elements of the corresponding centralizer algebra, giving a uniform source of central generators.
