In this paper we investigate a categorical aspect of $n$-trivial extension of a ring by a family of modules. Namely, we introduce the right (resp., left) $n$-trivial extension of a category by a family of endofunctors. Among other results,…
A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra, and $B$ be a Borel subgroup. We prove a formula for the dimensions of extension groups, in…
We consider a generalization $K_0^{\operatorname{gr}}(R)$ of the standard Grothendieck group $K_0(R)$ of a graded ring $R$ with involution. If $\Gamma$ is an abelian group, we show that $K_0^{\operatorname{gr}}$ completely classifies graded…
One of the algebraic structures that has emerged recently in the study of the operator product expansions of chiral fields in conformal field theory is that of a Lie conformal algebra [K]. A Lie pseudoalgebra is a generalization of the…
Let g=g_{0} \oplus g_{1} be a classical Lie superalgebra and F be the category of finite dimensional g-supermodules which are semisimple over g_{0}. In this paper we investigate the homological properties of the category F. In particular we…
This is a companion article to my papers on Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials and character formulae for the Lie superalgebras gl(m|n) (much revised!) and q(n). The goal is to develop the general theory of tilting modules for Lie superalgebras,…
The category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra (with bijektive antipode over a field) is a braided monoidal category. Given a Hopf algebra in this category then the primitive elements of this Hopf algebra do not form an…
Motivated by the theory of unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups, we describe those Lie superalgebras which have a faithful finite dimensional unitary representation. We call these Lie superalgebras unitary. This is…
Let $V$ be a standard subspace in the complex Hilbert space $H$ and $G$ be a finite dimensional Lie group of unitary and antiunitary operators on $H$ containing the modular group $(\Delta_V^{it})_{t \in R}$ of $V$ and the corresponding…
Let $\mathfrak{g}:={\rm Der}(\mathbb{C}[t_1, t_2,\cdots, t_n])$ and $\mathcal{L}:={\rm Der}(\mathbb{C}[[t_1, t_2,\cdots, t_n]])$ be the Witt Lie algebras. Clearly, $\mathfrak{g}$ is a proper subalegbra of $\mathcal{L}$. Surprisingly, we…
We associate to an arbitrary positive root $\alpha$ of a complex semisimple finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mfrak{g}$ a twisting endofunctor $T_\alpha$ of the category of $\mfrak{g}$-modules. We apply this functor to generalized Verma…
We introduce the $N=2$ Lie conformal superalgebras ${\frak {K}}(p)$ of Block type, and classify their finite irreducible conformal modules for any nonzero parameter $p$. where $p$ is a nonzero complex number. In particular, we show that…
Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a characteristic zero domain. For a locally unital $\mathbb{k}$-superalgebra $A$ with distinguished idempotents $I$and even subalgebra $a \subseteq A_{\bar 0}$, we define and study an associated diagrammatic monoidal…
We find modular transformations of normalized characters for the following $W$-algebras: (a) $W^{min}_k(\frak{g})$, where $\frak{g}=D_n \, (n \geq 4)$, or $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$, and $k$ is a negative integer $\geq -2$, or $\geq…
Let V be a finite-dimensional superspace and G a simple (or a ``close'' to simple) matrix Lie superalgebra, i.e., a Lie subsuperalgebra in GL(V). Under the classical invariant theory for G we mean the description of G-invariant elements of…
The main result describes the Brauer-Nesbitt reduction of unipotent representations of a finite group of Lie type, expressing it as an explicit linear combination of the restriction of Weyl modules from the algebraic group to the group of…
To any dg-category $T$ (over some base ring $k$), we define a $D^{-}$-stack $\mathcal{M}_{T}$ in the sense of \cite{hagII}, classifying certain $T^{op}$-dg-modules. When $T$ is saturated, $\mathcal{M}_{T}$ classifies compact objects in the…
For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the Duflo map $S\mathfrak{g}\rightarrow U\mathfrak{g}$ defines an isomorphism of $\mathfrak{g}$-modules. On $\mathfrak{g}$-invariant elements it gives an isomorphism of algebras.…
We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…
