We classify irreducible finite-dimensional modules of a collection of real Lie superalgebras that includes the simple ones, their classical variants, complex Lie superalgebras after restriction of scalars, and all real Lie algebras. Our…

We construct $W_3$ null vectors of a restricted class explicitly in two different forms. The method we use is an extension of that of Bauer et al.~in the Virasoro case. Our results are analogous to the formulae of Benoit and St.~Aubin for…

In one of his last papers, Boris Weisfeiler proved that if modular semisimple Lie algebra possesses a solvable maximal subalgebra which defines in it a long filtration, then associated graded algebra is isomorphic to one constructed from…

Suppose $g=g_0+g_1$ is a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$. In this article, we propose a conjecture for maximal dimensions of irreducible modules over the…

Modules over affine Lie superalgebras ${\cal G}$ are studied, in particular, for ${\cal G}=\hat{OSP(1,2)}$. It is shown that on studying Verma modules, much of the results in Kac-Moody algebra can be generalized to the super case. Of most…

The main goal of this paper is to prove the following theorem: Let $\frak k$ be an $\frak {sl}_2$-subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra $\frak g$, none of whose simple factors is of type $A1$. Then there exists a positive integer $b(\frak…

For any additive subgroup $G$ of an arbitrary field $F$ of characteristic zero, there corresponds a generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $L[G]$. Given a total order of $G$ compatible with its group structure, and any…
