Minimal W-superalgebras and modular representations of basic Lie superalgebras (1708.06536v1)

Abstract: Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}{\bar 0}+\mathfrak{g}{\bar 1}$ be a basic Lie superalgebra over $\mathbb{C}$, and $e$ a minimal nilpotent element in $\mathfrak{g}{\bar 0}$. Set $W\chi'$ to be the refined $W$-superalgebra associated with the pair $(\mathfrak{g},e)$, which is called a minimal $W$-superalgebra. In this paper we present a set of explicit generators of minimal $W$-superalgebras and the commutators between them. In virtue of this, we show that over an algebraically closed field $\mathds{k}$ of characteristic $p\gg0$, the lower bounds of dimensions in the modular representations of basic Lie superalgebras with minimal nilpotent $p$-characters are attainable. Such lower bounds are indicated in \cite{WZ} as the super Kac-Weisfeiler property.
