We propose the notion of a supercategory as an alternative approach to supermathematics. We show that this setting is rich to carry out many of the basic constructions of supermathematics. We also prove generalizations of a number of…
Let $L$ be one of the finite dimensional Lie algebras $W_n({\bf m}),$ $S_n({\bf m}),$ $ H_n({\bf m})$ of Cartan type over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>0.$ For an elements $F$ of the symmetrical algebra $S(L)$ we…
We show that any semi-direct sum $L$ of Lie algebras with Levi factor $S$ must be perfect if the representation associated with it does not possess a copy of the trivial representation. As a consequence, all invariant functions of $L$ must…
Given a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra g equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric, invariant bilinear form B, let V_k(g,B) denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to g and B at level k. For any reductive group G of…
Cayley's hyperdeterminant is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 in the 8 entries of a 2 x 2 x 2 array. It is the simplest (nonconstant) polynomial which is invariant under changes of basis in three directions. We use elementary facts…
The work proves that, for three-dimensional upper triangular groups over a field of odd characteristic with an abelian unipotent subgroup, the ring of invariants is polynomial if and only if the unipotent subgroup is generated by…
Classical invariant theory of a complex reflection group $W$ highlights three beautiful structures: -- the $W$-invariant polynomials constitute a polynomial algebra, over which -- the $W$-invariant differential forms with polynomial…
Let $G$ be the universal Chevalley-Demazure group scheme corresponding to a reduced irreducible root system of rank $\geq 2$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. We analyze the linear representations $\rho \colon G(R)^+ \to GL_n (K)$ over an…
We pursue various restricted variable generalizations of the Chevalley-Warning theorem for low degree polynomial systems over a finite field. Our first such result involves variables restricted to Cartesian products of the Vandermonde…
I present a construction of connected affine algebraic supergroups G_V associated with simple Lie superalgebras g of Cartan type and with g-modules V. Conversely, I prove that every connected affine algebraic supergroup whose tangent Lie…
In this paper, we study the Littlewood theory associated with the quantum super immanants and supersymmetric polynomials, including both the super case and the quantum generalization. In the setting of quantum super Schur-Weyl duality…
Consider the conjugation action of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}_{2}(K)$ on the polynomial ring $K[X_{2 \times 2}]$. When $K$ is an infinite field, the ring of invariants is a polynomial ring generated by the trace and the…
We prove an algebraic version of the Gauge-Invariant Uniqueness Theorem, a result which gives information about the injectivity of certain homomorphisms between ${\mathbb Z}$-graded algebras. As our main application of this theorem, we…
Finite dimensional modular Lie superalgebras over algebraically closed fields with indecomposable Cartan matrices are classified under some technical, most probably inessential, hypotheses. If the Cartan matrix is invertible, the…
Left invariant affine structures in a Lie group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with left-symmetric algebras over its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=T_eG$ (``over'' means that the commutator $[x,y]=xy-yx$ coincides with the Lie bracket;…
The notion of Weyl modules, both local and global, goes back to Chari and Pressley in the case of affine Lie algebras, and has been extensively studied for various Lie algebras graded by root systems. We extend that definition to a certain…
We introduce the notion of a subregular subalgebra, which we believe is useful for classification of subalgebras of Lie algebras. We use it to construct a non-regular invariant generalized complex structure on a Lie group. As an…
We prove that the scalar and $2\times 2$ matrix differential operators which preserve the simplest scalar and vector-valued polynomial modules in two variables have a fundamental Lie algebraic structure. Our approach is based on a general…
For a given abelian group G, we classify the isomorphism classes of G-gradings on the simple restricted Lie algebras of types W(m;1) and S(m;1) (m>=2), in terms of numerical and group-theoretical invariants. Our main tool is automorphism…
Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…
