We compute an explicit formula the Hilbert (Poincar\'e) series for the ring of hook Schur functions and (equivalently) the generating function for partitions which fit in a $(k,l)$-hook.

In this paper we propose a partition of loop Lie algebras into invariant sets parametrized by polar data. Our polar partition is motivated by J-K. Yu's construction of supercuspidal representations and leads to a conjectural construction of…

The problem of decomposing the Kronecker product of $S_n$ characters is one of the last major open problems in the ordinary representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$. Here we prove upper and lower polynomial bounds for the…

We propose a notion of a super n-Lie algebra and construct a super n-Lie algebra with the help of a given binary super Lie algebra which is equipped with an analog of a supertrace. We apply this approach to the super Lie algebra of a…

We establish combinatorial formulas for the index of a class of matrix Lie algebras whose matrix forms are encoded by strict partial orderings.

It is known that the category of Lie algebras over a ring admits algebraic exponents. The aim of this paper is to show that the same is true for the category of internal Lie algebras in an additive, cocomplete, symmetric, closed, monoidal…

We determine the Lie superalgebras over fields of characteristic zero that are graded by the root system A(n,n) of the special linear Lie superalgebra psl(n+1,n+1).

This is a continuation of arXiv:0903.0398 [math.RT]. Let g be a simple Lie algebra. In this note, we provide simple formulae for the index of sl(2)-subalgebras in the classical Lie algebras and a new formula for the index of the principal…

We show that the poset of non-trivial partitions of 1,2,...,n has a fundamental homology class with coefficients in a Lie superalgebra. Homological duality then rapidly yields a range of known results concerning the integral representations…

We use character polynomials to obtain a positive combinatorial interpretation of the multiplicity of the sign representation in irreducible polynomial representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ indexed by two-column and hook partitions. Our…

We describe explicitly Lie superalgebra isomorphisms between the Lie superalgebras of first-order superdifferential operators on supermanifolds, showing in particular that any such isomorphism induces a diffeomorphism of the supermanifolds.…

We prove denominator identities for the periplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}(n)$, thereby completing the problem of finding denominator identities for all simple classical finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras.

For a finite-dimensional representation V of a group G we introduce and study the notion of a Lie element in the group algebra k[G]. The set L(V) \subset k[G] of Lie elements is a Lie algebra and a G-module acting on the original…

In this paper we give a new formula for characters of finite dimensional irreducible $\frak{gl}(m,n)$ modules. We use two main ingredients: Su-Zhang formula and Brion's theorem.

In previous work Regev used part of the representation theory of Lie superalgebras to compute the values of a character of the symmetric group whose decomposition into irreducible constituents is described by semistandard…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, $R$ be an associative and commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra and $L$ be a Lie algebra over $\mathbb{K}$. We give some descriptions of injections from $L$ to Lie algebra of $\mathbb{K}$-derivations of $R$ in the…

The Weyl-Kac character formula gives a beautiful closed-form expression for the characters of integrable highest-weight modules of Kac-Moody algebras. It is not, however, a formula that is combinatorial in nature, obscuring positivity. In…

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…

In this paper we use invariant theory to develop the notion of cohomological detection for Type I classical Lie superalgebras. In particular we show that the cohomology with coefficients in an arbitrary module can be detected on smaller…

Given an integer partition $\la=(\la_1, ..., \la_\ell)$ and an integer k, denote by $\la^{(k)}$ the sequence of length $\ell$ obtained by reordering the values $|\la_i-k|$ in non-increasing order. If $\la$ dominates $\mu$ and has the same…
