Notes on the Duflo-Serganova functor in positive characteristic

Abstract

We develop a fragment of the theory of Duflo-Serganova functor over a field of odd characteristic. We elaborate a method of computing the symmetry supergroup Gx~\widetilde{\mathbb{G}_x} of this functor, recently introduced by A.Sherman, for a wide class of supergroups G\mathbb{G}, and apply it to the case when G\mathbb{G} is GL(mn)\mathrm{GL}(m|n) or Q(n)\mathrm{Q}(n), and a square zero odd element xLie(G)x\in \mathrm{Lie}(\mathbb{G}) has minimal or maximal rank. For any quasi-reductive supergroup G\mathbb{G}, which has a pair of specific parabolic supersubgroups, we prove a criterion of injectivity of a G\mathbb{G}-supermodule, involving vanishing of Duflo-Serganova functor on it.
