Tensor structure on the Kazhdan-Lusztig category for affine \mathfrak{gl}(1|1)

Publication date 2 September 2020

Abstract: We show that the Kazhdan-Lusztig category

K L_{k}

of level-

k

finite-length modules with highest-weight composition factors for the affine Lie superalgebra

w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k g l (1 | 1)

has vertex algebraic braided tensor supercategory structure, and that its full subcategory

m a t h c a l O_{k}^{f i n}

of objects with semisimple Cartan subalgebra actions is a tensor subcategory. We show that every simple

w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k g l (1 | 1)

-module in

K L_{k}

has a projective cover in

m a t h c a l O_{k}^{f i n}

, and we determine all fusion rules involving simple and projective objects in

m a t h c a l O_{k}^{f i n}

. Then using Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, we prove that

K L_{k}

and

m a t h c a l O_{k}^{f i n}

are rigid. As an application of the tensor supercategory structure on

m a t h c a l O_{k}^{f i n}

, we study certain module categories for the affine Lie superalgebra

w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k s l (2 | 1)

at levels

1

and

- f r a c 12

. In particular, we obtain a tensor category of

w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k s l (2 | 1)

-modules at level

- f r a c 12

that includes relaxed highest-weight modules and their images under spectral flow.
