    Let \(L=\oplus L_ i\) be a graded Lie algebra, \(U(L)\) its universal enveloping algebra and \(\{y_ 1,\dots,y_ k\}\) a basis of \(L^ - =\oplus_{i<0}L_ i\). There exist \(m_ 1,\dots,m_ k\in\mathbb{N}\) such that the \(p^{m_ i}\)-th power of \(\text{ad }y_ i\) vanishes, \(i=1,\dots,k\), where \(p>2\) is the characteristic of the ground field. Let \(\theta\) be the subalgebra of \(U(L)\) generated by \(y^{p^{m_ i}}\), \(i=1,\dots,k\), and \(U(L_ 0)\). If \(V\) is an irreducible module of \(L_ 0\), let \(\tilde V\) be the induced module \(U(L)\otimes_ \theta V\) and \(M(V)\) the irreducible \(L\)-module with base space \(V\). The author discusses the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nondegenerate invariant (symmetric or skew symmetric) forms on \(\tilde V\) and \(M(V)\) when \(L\) is a (finite-dimensional) graded Lie algebra of Cartan type.
