Categorification of generic Su-Zhang character formula
Abstract: For semisimple Lie algebras, the BGG resolution is commonly interpreted as a categorification of the Weyl character formula. For general linear Lie superalgebras, the Kac--Wakimoto character formula is regarded as a good character formula for a certain class of singular'' weights (the so-called Kac--Wakimoto weights). However, the combinatorial factor $\frac{1}{\operatorname{atyp}(λ)!}$ makes a direct BGG-type categorification of this formula rather elusive. In this paper we construct, for a certain class ofgeneric'' weights, a resolution that categorifies a known Weyl-type finite-sum character formula of the same flavour as the Kac--Wakimoto formula. Our resolution is built from taking images of canonical homomorphisms between Verma modules corresponding to non-conjugate Borel subalgebras via odd reflections. Note that, while the infinite resolution of Kac--Wakimoto simple modules by Kac modules constructed by Brundan--Stroppel~\cite{brundan2010highestII} does not directly generalize the classical BGG resolution, the construction developed here does.
