On symmetries of the Duflo-Serganova functor

Representation Theory 2023-07-14 v2

Abstract

We discuss several points regarding symmetries of the Duflo-Serganova functor. In particular we give new constructions of Lie superalgebras, Lie supergroups, and associative superalgebras which act on the Duflo-Serganova functor. We connect our work to a computation of Heidersdorf and Weissauer which computed DSxDS_x for a maximal rank xx on Kac-modules for GL(nn)GL(n|n), and extend the ideas and results to P(n)P(n).
