Minicourses of the session "Lie Theory and Representation Theory"

course: Representations of Lie superalgebras Minicourse of the session "Lie Theory and Representation Theory"

speaker: Vera Serganova (University of California, Berkeley)

abstract: The goal of this minicourse is to review recent results in representation theory of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras.

  • Lecture 1 Finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras: classification, examples, highest weight theory, first results about characters.
  • Lecture 2 Center of universal enveloping superalgebras. Blocks in the category of finite-dimensional representations and category O Stein-Gelfand-Gelfand reciprocity. Weight diagrams.
  • Lecture 3 Algebraic supergroups. Geometric methods: Borel-Weil-Bott theory, associated variety and odd nilpotent cone.
  • Lecture 4 Schur-Weyl duality for di erent classical superalgebras. Deligne's theorem and relation with tensor categories.
  • Lecture 5 Categorification of Fock space via translation functors for superalgebras. Kazhdan-Lusztig-Brundan conjecture for category O in supercase.
