Parabolic BGG categories and their block decomposition for Lie superalgebras of Cartan type (1908.06251v3)

Abstract: In this paper, we study the parabolic BGG categories for graded Lie superalgebras of Cartan type over complex numbers. The gradation of such a Lie superalgebra $\ggg$ naturally arises, with the zero component $\ggg_0$ being a reductive Lie algebra. We first show that there are only two proper parabolic subalgebras containing Levi subalgebra $\ggg_0$: the maximal one" $\sfp_\max$ and theminimal one" $\sfp_\min$. Furthermore, the parabolic BGG category arising from $\sfp_\max$, essentially turns out to be a subcategory of the one arising from $\sfp_\min$. Such a priority of $\sfp_\min$ in the sense of representation theory reduces the question to the study of the ``minimal parabolic" BGG category $\comi$ associated with $\sfp_\min$. We prove the existence of projective covers of simple objects in these categories, which enables us to establish a satisfactory block theory. Most notably, our main results are as follows: (1) We classify and obtain a precise description of the blocks of $\comi$. (2) We investigate indecomposable tilting and indecomposable projective modules in $\comi$, and compute their character formulas.
