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,…

We classify all simple bounded highest weight modules of a basic classical Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak g$. In particular, our classification leads to the classification of the simple weight modules with finite weight multiplicities over all…

We consider the category of Whittaker modules for the Lie superalgebra $W_{m,n}$ of vector fields on $\mathbb{C}^{(m|n)}$. For any $\mathbf{a}\in \mathbb{C}^m$ we show the equivalence between the blocks $\Omega_{\mathbf…

We deduce the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture on the multiplicities of simple modules over a simple complex Lie algebra in Verma modules in category O from the equivariant geometric Satake correspondence and the analysis of torus fixed points in…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the derivation Lie algebra of ${\mathbb C}[t_1^{\pm 1},t_2^{\pm 1}]$. Given a triangle decomposition $\mathcal{L} =\mathcal{L}^{+}\oplus\mathfrak{h}\oplus\mathcal{L}^{-}$, we define a nonsingular Lie algebra…

For any positive integer $n$, let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_1,\dots,t_n]$, $W_n=\text{Der}(A_n)$ and $\Delta_n=\text{Span}\{\frac{\partial}{\partial{t_1}},\dots,\frac{\partial}{\partial{t_n}}\}$. Then $(W_n, \Delta_n)$ is a Whittaker pair. A…
