Kostant homology formulas for oscillator modules of Lie superalgebras (Q977507): Difference between revisions

In [``Lie algebra cohomology and the generalized Borel-Weil theorem,'' Ann. Math. (2) 74, 329--387 (1961; Zbl 0134.03501)] \textit{B. Kostant} computed the (co)homology groups for finite dimensional simple modules of a semisimple Lie algebra using by the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. In this calculation the Weyl character formula has been recovered in a purely algebraic way. Kostant's calculations has been generalized to integrable modules of Kac-Moody algebras, unitarizable highest weight modules of Hermitian symmetric pairs, finite dimensional modules of general linear superalgebras and recently to modules of infinite dimensional Lie superalgebras. On the other hand Howe's theory of reductive dual pairs has played important roles in the representation theory of real and \(p\)-adic Lie groups and there have been generalizations in different directions. The main aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual approach to computing Kostant homology groups with coefficients in the oscillator \(\bar{\mathfrak{g}}\)-modules. To do this first they give a review and some notations for various Howe dualities involving the infinite dimensional Lie algebras \(\mathfrak{g}\) and finite dimensional Lie superalgebras \(\bar{\mathfrak{g}}\). Then they compute the character formulas of the oscillator \(\bar{\mathfrak{g}}\)-modules from Howe dualities. Finally, they calculate Casimir eigenvalues of representations of \(\bar{\mathfrak{g}}\) and \(\mathfrak{g}\) and obtain formulas for Kostant homology groups for oscillator \(\bar{\mathfrak{g}}\)-modules.
