Restriction theorems and root systems for symmetric superspaces

From MaRDI portal





The present authors consider the analog of the Chevalley restriction theorem for an involution \(\theta\) of a finite dimensional Kac-Moody Lie superalgebra. That is, they consider those involutions \(\theta\) of a finite-dimensional Kac-Moody Lie superalgebra \(\mathfrak{g}\), with associated decomposition \(\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{p}\), for which a Cartan subspace \(\mathfrak{a}\) in \(\mathfrak{p}_{\overline{0}}\) is self-centralizing in \(\mathfrak{p}\). For such \(\theta\), the restriction map \(C_{\theta}\) from \(\mathfrak{p}\) to \(\mathfrak{a}\) is injective on the algebra \(P(\mathfrak{p})^{\mathfrak{k}}\) of \(\mathfrak{k}\)-invariant polynomials on \(\mathfrak{p}\). There are five infinite families and five exceptional cases of such involutions, and for each case, the authors explicitly determine the structure of \(P(\mathfrak{p})^{\mathfrak{k}}\) by giving a complete set of generators for the image of \(C_{\theta}\). They also determine when the restriction map \(R_{\theta}\) from \(P(\mathfrak{g})^{\mathfrak{g}}\) to \(P(\mathfrak{p})^{\mathfrak{k}}\) is surjective. Finally, the authors introduce the notion of a generalized restricted root system, and show that in the present setting, the \(\mathfrak{a}\)-roots \(\Delta(\mathfrak{a}, \mathfrak{g})\) always form such a system.
