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,…

For every involution $\mathbf{w}$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ we establish, in terms ofa special canonical quotient of the dominant Verma module associated with $\mathbf{w}$, an effective criterion, which allows us to verify whether the…

A famous result of Kostant states that the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple complex Lie algebra is a free module over its center. We prove an analogue of this result for a class of filtered algebras and apply it to show the…

This paper addresses the representation theory of the insertion-elimination Lie algebra, a Lie algebra that can be naturally realized in terms of tree-inserting and tree-eliminating operations on rooted trees. The insertion-elimination…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a reductive Lie algebra. We give a condition that ensures that the character of a generalized Verma module is well-behaved under a twisting functor. We show that a similar result holds for basic classical simple Lie…
