On supergroups and their semisimplified representation categories

Representation Theory 2018-05-02 v3

Abstract

The representation category A=Rep(G,ϵ)\mathcal{A} = Rep(G,\epsilon) of a supergroup scheme GG has a largest proper tensor ideal, the ideal N\mathcal{N} of negligible morphisms. If we divide A\mathcal{A} by N\mathcal{N} we get the semisimple representation category of a pro-reductive supergroup scheme GredG^{red}. We list some of its properties and determine GredG^{red} in the case GL(m1)GL(m|1).
