Homology and cohomology of Lie superalgebra \({\mathfrak sl}(2,1)\) with coefficients in the spaces of finite-dimensional irreducible representations (Q1911575)

A method of calculation for homology and cohomology groups with coefficients in the space of a representation of a Lie superalgebra is given, and carried out for the Lie superalgebra \(sl(2,1)\). First the simple highest weight modules \(V(\Lambda)\) of \(g=sl(2,1)\) are described in terms of a standard induced module \(\overline V (\Lambda)\). If \(\Lambda\) is typical, \(V(\Lambda) = \overline V(\Lambda)\), otherwise \(V(\Lambda) = \overline V (\Lambda)/I (\Lambda)\), with \(I(\Lambda)\) the nonzero maximal submodule. It is shown that the homology groups \(H_n(g, \overline V (\Lambda))\) vanish for any \(n\). Then the author describes the homology \(H_n(g,V (\Lambda))\) with \(\Lambda\) atypical. In this case, its dimension can be 0 or 1.
