Three Ideals of Lie Superalgebras

We define perfect ideals, near perfect ideals and upper bounded ideals of a finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra, and study the properties of these three kinds of ideals through their relevant sequences. We prove that a Lie superalgebra is solvable if and only if its maximal perfect ideal is zero, or its quotient superalgebra by the maximal perfect ideal is solvable. We also show that a Lie superalgebra is nilpotent if and only if its maximal near perfect ideal is zero. Moreover, we prove that a nilpotent Lie superalgebra has only one upper bounded ideal, which is the nilpotent Lie superalgebra itself.

Holomorphic integer graded vertex superalgebras

In this paper, we study holomorphic [Formula: see text]-graded vertex superalgebras. We prove that all such vertex superalgebras of central charge [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are purely even. For the case of central charge [Formula: see text] we prove that the weight-one Lie superalgebra is either zero, of superdimension [Formula: see text], or else is one of an explicit list of 1332 semisimple Lie superalgebras.

The ℤ2 × ℤ2-graded Lie superalgebras pso(2n + 1|2n) and pso(∞|∞), and parastatistics Fock spaces

The parastatistics Fock spaces of order p corresponding to an infinite number of parafermions and parabosons with relative paraboson relations are constructed. The Fock spaces are lowest weight representations of the ℤ2 × ℤ2-graded Lie superalgebra pso(∞|∞), with a basis consisting of row-stable Gelfand-Zetlin patterns.

Space, Matter and Interactions in a Quantum Early Universe. Part II: Superalgebras and Vertex Algebras

In our investigation on quantum gravity, we introduce an infinite dimensional complex Lie algebra gu that extends e9. It is defined through a symmetric Cartan matrix of a rank 12 Borcherds algebra. We turn gu into a Lie superalgebra sgu with no superpartners, in order to comply with the Pauli exclusion principle. There is a natural action of the Poincaré group on sgu, which is an automorphism in the massive sector. We introduce a mechanism for scattering that includes decays as particular resonant scattering. Finally, we complete the model by merging the local sgu into a vertex-type algebra.

Characters and quantum reduction for orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras

In this study, we study principal admissible representations for the affine Lie superalgebra [Formula: see text]. Using the character formula of irreducible admissible representations of [Formula: see text], we calculate a character formula of [Formula: see text]-modules which are obtained from the quantized Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction and principal admissible representations. As a by-product, we obtain the minimal series modules of the Neveu–Schwarz algebra through the [Formula: see text]-modules arising from the principal admissible modules over [Formula: see text].

Classification of Simple Lie Superalgebras in Characteristic 2

All results concern characteristic 2. We describe two procedures; each of which to every simple Lie algebra assigns a simple Lie superalgebra. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the result of one of these procedures. For Lie algebras, in addition to the known “classical” restrictedness, we introduce a (2,4)-structure on the two non-alternating series: orthogonal and Hamiltonian vector fields. For Lie superalgebras, the classical restrictedness of Lie algebras has two analogs: a $2|4$-structure, which is a direct analog of the classical restrictedness, and a novel $2|2$-structure—one more analog, a $(2,4)|4$-structure on Lie superalgebras is the analog of (2,4)-structure on Lie algebras known only for non-alternating orthogonal and Hamiltonian series.

Constructions and Properties for a Finite-Dimensional Modular Lie Superalgebra K n , m

In this paper, a finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra K n , m over a field of prime characteristic is constructed. Then, we study some properties of K n , m . Moreover, we prove that K n , m is an extension of a simple Lie superalgebra, and if m = n − 1 , then it is isomorphic to a subalgebra of a restricted Lie superalgebra.

The Even Part of Finite-Dimensional Modular Lie Superalgebra Γ

Let [Formula: see text] be the underlying base field of characteristic [Formula: see text] and denote by [Formula: see text] the even part of the finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra [Formula: see text]. We give the generator sets of the Lie algebra [Formula: see text]. Using certain properties of the canonical tori of [Formula: see text], we describe explicitly the derivation algebra of [Formula: see text].
