Representations of Lie Superalgebras in Prime Characteristic I

Representation Theory 2014-02-26 v2 Quantum Algebra Rings and Algebras

Abstract

We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a mixture of p-power and 2-power divisibilities of dimensions of modules. We establish the Conjecture for basic classical Lie superalgebras.
