Abstract

If g=g0g1\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{0}} \oplus \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{1}} is a Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic 0, the notion of an endotrivial module has recently been extended to g\mathfrak{g}-modules by defining MM to be endotrivial if Homk(M,M)kevP\operatorname{Hom}_k(M,M) \cong k_{ev} \oplus P as g\mathfrak{g}-supermodules. Here, kevk_{ev} denotes the trivial module concentrated in degree 0\overline{0} and PP is a (U(g),U(g0))(U(\mathfrak{g}), U(\mathfrak{g}_{\overline{0}}))-projective supermodule. In the stable module category, these modules form a group under the tensor product. If T(g)T(\mathfrak{g}) denotes the group of endotrivial g\mathfrak{g}-modules, it is interesting and useful to identify this group for a given Lie superalgebra g\mathfrak{g}. In this paper, a classification is given in the case where g=gl(mn)\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{gl}(m|n) and it is shown that T(gl(mn))k×Z×Z2T(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)) \cong k \times \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}_2 and is generated by the one parameter family of one dimensional modules kλk_\lambda where λk\lambda \in k, Ω1(kev)\Omega^1(k_{ev}), which denotes the first syzygy of kevk_{ev}, and the parity change functor.
