Review text

A survey of the results of the last decade on the representation theory of Lie algebras of Cartan type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\) is given. The main attention is paid to the category of \(D(G_r)\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\)-modules where \(\mathfrak g\) is a Lie \(p\)-algebra of Cartan type, \(\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\) the restricted enveloping algebra, \(G_r\) the \(r\)th Frobenius kernel, \(D(G_r)\) the distribution algebra of \(G_r\). \(D(G_r)\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\) is a Hopf algebra which contains \(D(G_r)\) as Hopf subalgebra and \(\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\) as a normal Hopf subalgebra. In these settings due to employing \(D(G_r)\) the representation theory of \(\mathfrak g\) becomes closely connected with the representation theory of reductive groups developed by J.~C. Jantzen. The description of irreducible modules and their projective covers is given including good filtrations, block structure and Cartan matrices. Some cohomology problems connected with the complexity and support varieties of simple modules are treated. The relationship between simple \(D(G)\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\)-modules and simple \(D(G_r)\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\)-modules is discussed. The criterion for the existence of a good filtration in a \(D(G)\mathfrak u(\mathfrak g)\)-module is given. Finally some unsolved problems are formulated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0897.00027].
