Abstract: We present a classification of all spherical indecomposable representations of classical and exceptional Lie superalgebras. We also include information about stabilizers, symmetric algebras, and Borels for which sphericity is achieved. In one such computation, the symmetric algebra of the standard module of $mathfrakosp(m|2n)$ is computed, which in particular gives the representation-theoretic structure of polynomials on the complex supersphere.

Review text

For a quasireductive Lie superalgebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) and representation \(\rho:\mathfrak{g}\to\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V)\), the triple \((V,\mathfrak{g},\rho)\) is spherical if there exists a Borel subalgebra \(\mathfrak{b}\) of \(\mathfrak{g}\) and a vector \(v\in V_{\overline{0}}\) such that \((\rho(\mathfrak{b})+\mathbb{C}\cdot \text{id}_{V})v=V\). Assuming \(\mathfrak{g}\) is one of the following Lie superalgebras \(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)\), \(\mathfrak{osp}(m|2n)\), \(\mathfrak{p}(n)\), \(\mathfrak{q}(n)\), or exceptional basic simple over the complex numbers, A. Sherman describes all spherical indecomposable representations of \(\mathfrak{g}\), i.e., all finite-dimensional indecomposable \(\mathfrak{g}\)-modules \(V\) such that there exists an even vector \(v\in V_{\overline{0}}\) and a Borel subalgebra \(\mathfrak{b}\subseteq \mathfrak{g}\) such that \((\mathfrak{b}+\mathbb{C}\cdot\text{id}_V) v=V\). That is, he classifies such triples \((V,\mathfrak{g},\rho)\) up to equivalence, where \((V,\mathfrak{g},\rho)\sim(V',\mathfrak{g}',\rho')\) if and only if \(V\cong V'\) and \(\rho(\mathfrak{g})+\mathbb{C}\cdot \text{id}_{V}\) maps to \(\rho'(\mathfrak{g}')+\mathbb{C}\cdot \text{id}_{V'}\) under the induced isomorphism \(\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V)\to\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V')\). Here, the author only considers the cases when the odd superspace \(V_{\overline{1}}\) is nonzero, or else, he is considering the action of a reductive group, which is already known. Thus, Sherman extends Kac's result, who classified all visible linear groups acting irreducibly on a vector space, thus solving the problem of finding all spherical irreducible representations of reductive Lie algebras.
