In this paper we give a re-normalization of the supertrace on the category of representations of Lie superalgebras of type I, by a kind of modified superdimension. The genuine superdimensions and supertraces are generically zero. However,…

In a recent paper, motivated by the study of central extensions of associative algebras, G. Janelidze introduces the notion of weakly action representable category. In this paper, we show that the category of Leibniz algebras is weakly…

We determine the skew fields of fractions of the enveloping algebra of the Lie superalgebra osp(1, 2) and of some significant subsu-peralgebras of the Lie superalgebra osp(1, 4). We compare the kinds of skew fields arising from this "super"…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) with n>0, and let l be a prime number different from p. We describe the block decomposition of the category of finite length…

We define the superclasses for a classical finite unipotent group $U$ of type $B_{n}(q)$, $C_{n}(q)$, or $D_{n}(q)$, and show that, together with the supercharacters defined in a previous paper, they form a supercharacter theory. In…

Let g be the Lie superalgebra p(3) of rank 2 over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p > 3. We classify all irreducible modules of g, and give the character formulae for irreducible modules.

The paper concerns extra special associative algebras, an analogue of the Heisenberg Lie algebra. In particular, we say that an associative algebra is extra special if its center is equal to its derived ideal and the center is…

Let L be a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra of characteristic distinct from 2 and from 3. Suppose that L contains an extremal element that is not a sandwich, that is, an element x such that [x, [x, L]] is equal to the linear span of x…

We describe the `Lie algebra of classical mechanics', modelled on the Lie algebra generated by kinetic and potential energy of a simple mechanical system with respect to the canonical Poisson bracket. It is a polynomially graded Lie…

We prove Conjecture 5.7 in [arXiv:1409.2532], describing all inclusions between primitive ideals for the general linear superalgebra in terms of the Ext1-quiver of simple highest weight modules. For arbitrary basic classical Lie…

We list classical spherical subalgebras in basic matrix Lie superalgebras which are quantizable to coideal subalgebras in the standard quantum supergroups, for any choice of Borel subalgebra. We classify the corresponding Satake-type…

Motivated by positive energy representations, we classify those continuous central extensions of the compactly supported gauge Lie algebra that are covariant under a 1-parameter group of transformations of the base manifold.

We characterize, in a purely algebraic manner, certain linear forms, called stable, on a Lie algebra. As an application, we determine the index of a Borel subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra. Finally, we give an example of a parabolic…

It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that…

In this note, we show that, in the setting of Galois pairs, the spherical characters of unitary supercuspidal representations satisfy an orthogonality relation.

We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR's) of a super Lie group. We give…

Let $g$ be a classical Lie algebra, i.e., either $gl_n$, $sp_n$, or $so_n$ and let $e\in g$ be a nilpotent element. We study various properties of centralisers $g_e$. The first four sections deal with rather elementary questions, like the…

This paper surveys the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. We also discuss the representations of the spherical subalgebras. We describe in particular the results on category O. For type A, we explain relations with the…

We define the notion of a Lie superalgebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $2$ which unifies the two pre-existing ones - $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded Lie algebras with a squaring map and Lie algebras in the Verlinde category ${\rm Ver}_4^+(k)$,…
