Let g be a simple, finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra over C. These have been classified by V. Kac. Unless g is a Lie algebra or a Lie superalgebra of type osp(1, 2n), the category of finite-dimensional representations of g is not semisimple; q.v. [8]. This leads to a classification problem. For example, in [4], the representation theory of sl(m,n) is worked out by showing it is wild when m,n ...

Making use of a Howe duality involving the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra ĝl∞|∞ and the finite-dimensional group GLl of [CW3] we derive a character formula for a certain class of irreducible quasi-finite representations of ĝl∞|∞ in terms of hook Schur functions. We use the reduction procedure of ĝl∞|∞ to ĝln|n to derive a character formula for a certain class of level 1 highest weight ir...

We show that a primeness criterion for enveloping algebras of Le superalgebras discovered by Bell is applicable to the Cartan type Lie superal-gebras W(n), n even. Other algebras are considered but there are no deenitive answers in these cases. Allen Bell has shown in B] that if L is a nite-dimensional Lie superalgebra over a eld of characteristic zero, then the primeness of the universal envel...

Given any simple Lie superalgebra g, we investigate the structure of an arbitrary simple weight g-module. We introduce two invariants of simple weight modules: the shadow and the small Weyl group. Generalizing results of Fernando and Futorny we show that any simple module is obtained by parabolic induction from a cuspidal module of a Levi subsuper-algebra. Then we classify the cuspidal Levi sub...

This text is an extended version of a part of my 1980 Trieste preprint [16]. In this preprint I gave, in particular, an expression for the action of a Lie superalgebra g on the g-module coinduced from an h-module V for the case where both g and V are finite-dimensional and g decomposes (as a linear space, not Lie superalgebra) into a direct sum g− ⊕ h with g− a Lie superalgebra. The importance ...

We define regular Kac-Moody superalgebras and classify them using integrable modules. We give conditions for irreducible highest weight modules of regular Kac-Moody superalgebras to be integrable. This paper is a major part of the proof for the classification of finite-growth contragredient Lie superalgebras. The results of this paper are a crucial part of the proof for the classification of co...

Models of the exceptional simple modular Lie superalgebras in characteristic p ≥ 3, that have appeared in the classification due to Bouarroudj, Grozman and Leites [BGLb] of the Lie superalgebras with indecomposable symmetrizable Cartan matrices, are provided. The models relate these exceptional Lie superalgebras to some low dimensional nonassociative algebraic systems. Introduction The finite d...
