On the structure and characters of weight modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathfrakg be a classical Lie superalgebra of type I or a Cartan-type Lie superalgebra {�f W}(n). We study weight mathfrakg-modules using a method inspired by Mathieu's classification of the simple weight modules with finite weight multiplicities over reductive Lie algebras, cite{M}. Our approach is based on the fact that every simple weight mathfrakg-module with finite weight multiplicities is obtained via a composition of a twist and localization from a highest weight module. This allows us to transfer many results for category calO modules to the category of weight modules with finite weight multiplicities. As a main application of the method we reduce the problems of finding a mathfrakg0-composition series and a character formula for all simple weight modules to the same problems for simple highest weight modules. In this way, using results of Serganova we obtain a character formula for all simple weight {�f W}(n)-modules and all simple atypical nonsingular mathfraksmathfrakl(m|1)-modules. Some of our results are new already in the case of a classical reductive Lie algebra mathfrakg.
