Abstract
The Weisfeiler filtrations of infinite-dimensional odd contact superalgebras over fields of positive characteristic are proved to be invariant under automorphisms by characterizing ad-nilpotent elements. Thereby, we are able to obtain an intrinsic characterization of odd contact superalgebras and a property of automorphisms of these Lie superalgebras.
