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.
