We generalize a construction in [BW18] (arXiv:1610.09271) by showing that the tensor product of a based $textbf{U}^{imath}$-module and a based $textbf{U}$-module is a based $textbf{U}^{imath}$-module. This is then used to formulate a Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for an arbitrary parabolic BGG category $mathcal{O}$ of the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebras, extending a main result in [BW13] (arXiv:1310.0103).
We show that the Kazhdan-Lusztig category $KL_k$ of level-$k$ finite-length modules with highest-weight composition factors for the affine Lie superalgebra $widehat{mathfrak{gl}(1|1)}$ has vertex algebraic braided tensor supercategory structure, and that its full subcategory $mathcal{O}_k^{fin}$ of objects with semisimple Cartan subalgebra actions is a tensor subcategory. We show that every simple $widehat{mathfrak{gl}(1|1)}$-module in $KL_k$ has a projective cover in $mathcal{O}_k^{fin}$, and we determine all fusion rules involving simple and projective objects in $mathcal{O}_k^{fin}$. Then using Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, we prove that $KL_k$ and $mathcal{O}_k^{fin}$ are rigid. As an application of the tensor supercategory structure on $mathcal{O}_k^{fin}$, we study certain module categories for the affine Lie superalgebra $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(2|1)}$ at levels $1$ and $-frac{1}{2}$. In particular, we obtain a tensor category of $widehat{mathfrak{sl}(2|1)}$-modules at level $-frac{1}{2}$ that includes relaxed highest-weight modules and their images under spectral flow.
The goal of this work is to provide an elementary construction of the canonical basis $mathbf B(w)$ in each quantum Schubert cell~$U_q(w)$ and to establish its invariance under modified Lusztigs symmetries. To that effect, we obtain a direct characterization of the upper global basis $mathbf B^{up}$ in terms of a suitable bilinear form and show that $mathbf B(w)$ is contained in $mathbf B^{up}$ and its large part is preserved by modified Lusztigs symmetries.
We give explicit actions of Drinfeld generators on Gelfand-Tsetlin bases of super Yangian modules associated with skew Young diagrams. In particular, we give another proof that these representations are irreducible. We study irreducible tame $mathrm Y(mathfrak{gl}_{1|1})$-modules and show that a finite-dimensional irreducible $mathrm Y(mathfrak{gl}_{1|1})$-module is tame if and only if it is thin. We also give the analogous statements for quantum affine superalgebra of type A.
We formulate a general super duality conjecture on connections between parabolic categories O of modules over Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras of type A, based on a Fock space formalism of their Kazhdan-Lusztig theories which was initiated by Brundan. We show that the Brundan-Kazhdan-Lusztig (BKL) polynomials for Lie superalgebra gl(m|n) in our parabolic setup can be identified with the usual parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. We establish some special cases of the BKL conjecture on the parabolic category O of gl(m|n)-modules and additional results which support the BKL conjecture and super duality conjecture.
Every irreducible finite-dimensional representation of the quantized enveloping algebra U_q(gl_n) can be extended to the corresponding quantum affine algebra via the evaluation homomorphism. We give in explicit form the necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducibility of tensor products of such evaluation modules.
