Shapovalov determinants of Q-type Lie superalgebras

Representation Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We define an analogue of Shapovalov forms for Q-type Lie superalgebras and factorize the corresponding Shapovalov determinants which are responsible for simplicity of highest weight modules. We apply the factorization to obtain a description of the centres of Q-type Lie superalgebras.
