We give a complete combinatorial classification of those parabolic Verma modules in the principal block of the parabolic category $\mathcal{O}$ associated to a minimal or a maximal parabolic subalgebra of the special linear Lie algebra for…

M. Neunh{\"o}ffer studies in \cite{Ne} a certain basis of $\mathbb{C}[S_n]$ with the origins in \cite{Lu} and shows that this basis is in fact Wedderburn's basis. In particular, in this basis the right regular representation of $S_n$…

Let G be a universal Chevalley group over an algebraically closed field and U^- be the subalgebra of Dist(G) generated by all divided powers X_{\alpha,m} with \alpha<0. We conjecture an algorithm to determine if Fe^+_\omega\ne0, where…

We study the action of the quantum group $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_n})$ on the equivariant K-theory of affine Laumon spaces. We show that, at any highest weight away from the critical level, this can be identified with the contragredient…

Let $(W, S)$ be a Coxeter system equipped with a fixed automorphism $\ast$ of order $\leq 2$ which preserves $S$. Lusztig (and with Vogan in some special cases) have shown that the space spanned by set of "twisted" involutions was naturally…

Let G be a semi simple linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero and let V be a finite dimensional irreducible G-module with highest weight vector v. Let P in G be the parabolic subgroup fixing v and let g=Lie(G). We get a…

Let B be the Lie algebra with basis {L_{i,j},C|i,j\in Z} and relations [L_{i,j},L_{k,l}]=((j+1)k-i(l+1))L_{i+k,j+l}+i\delta_{i,-k}\delta_{j+l,-2}C, [C,L_{i,j}]=0. It is proved that an irreducible highest weight B-module is quasifinite if…

Let $\text{GL}(n) = \text{GL}(n, {\mathbb C})$ denote the complex general linear group and let $G \subset \text{GL}(n)$ be one of the classical complex subgroups $\text{O}(n)$, $\text{SO}(n)$, and $\text{Sp}(2k)$ (in the case $n = 2k$). We…

The evaluation homomorphisms from the super Yangian $\Ymn$ to the universal enveloping algebra $\U(\gl_{m|n})$ allows one to regard the covariant tensor module of $\gl_{m|n}$ as $\Ymn$ modules. We study simple quotients of the submodules…

We begin a study of torsion theories for representations of an important class of associative algebras over a field which includes all finite W-algebras of type A, in particular the universal enveloping algebra of gl(n) (or sl(n)) for all…

We study the classical problem of Kostant for Whittaker modules over Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras. We give a sufficient condition for a positive answer to Kostant's problem for the standard Whittaker modules over reductive Lie…

In this paper the authors consider four questions of primary interest for the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups: (i) Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture, (ii) the Humphreys-Verma Question, (iii) whether $\operatorname{St}_r…

We show that the affine vertex superalgebra $V^k(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})$ at generic level $k$ embeds in the equivariant $\mathcal W$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}$ times $4n$ free fermions. This has two corollaries: (1) it provides a new…

The BRST quantisation of the Drinfeld - Sokolov reduction applied to the case of $A^{(1)}_2\,$ is explored to construct in an unified and systematic way the general singular vectors in ${\cal W}_3$ and ${\cal W}_3^{(2)}$ Verma modules. The…

We study the structure and representation theory of the principal W-algebra $\mathsf{W}^{\mathsf{k}}_{\mathrm{pr}}$ of $\mathsf{V}^{\mathsf{k}}(\mathfrak{psl}_{2|2})$. The defining operator product expansions are computed, as is the Zhu…

Haisheng Li showed that given a module (W,Y_W(\cdot,x)) for a vertex algebra (V,Y(\cdot,x)), one can obtain a new V-module W^{\Delta} = (W,Y_W(\Delta(x)\cdot,x)) if \Delta(x) satisfies certain natural conditions. Li presented a collection…

In this short note we announce three formulas for the set of weights of various classes of highest weight modules $\V$ with highest weight \lambda, over a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\lie{g}$ with Cartan subalgebra $\lie{h}$. These…

We study Kostant cohomology and Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolutions for finite dimensional representations of basic classical Lie superalgebras and reductive Lie superalgebras based on them. For each choice of parabolic subalgebra and…
