Orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras, Koszul duality, and a complete intersection analogue of the Eagon-Northcott complex (Q502147)

The paper deals with representations of orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras (a family of simple Lie superalgebras) and free resolutions over a class of quadratic complete intersections called \textit{Littlewood varieties}. The two sides of the story are connected by Koszul duality. The author presents a geometric construction for a large class of modules, including all powers of the ideal of maximal minors in Littlewood varieties, and shows that they have a linear free resolution over the complete intersection and that their Koszul dual is an infinite-dimensional irreducible representation of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra. This generalizes work of \textit{K. Akin} and \textit{J. Weyman} [J. Algebra 197, No. 2, 559--583, Art. No. JA977101 (1997; Zbl 0898.17003); J. Algebra 230, No. 1, 5--23 (2000; Zbl 1041.17005)], \textit{T. Jozefiak} et al. [Astérisque 87--88, 109--189 (1981; Zbl 0488.14012)] and the author and \textit{J. Weyman} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2015, No. 13, 4663--4707 (2015; Zbl 1316.05127)] on resolutions of determinantal ideals in polynomial rings. As an application, a Borel-Weil-Bott type theorem for a class of reducible homogeneous bundles over orthogonal and symplectic Grassmannians is deduced.
