We also show the complexity and the z-complexity have geometric interpretations in terms of support and associated varieties; these results are in agreement with formulas previously discovered for other classes of Lie superalgebras. Our main technical tool is a recursive algorithm for constructing projective resolutions for the Kac modules. The indecomposable projective summands which appear in a given degree of the resolution are explicitly described using the combinatorics of weight diagrams. Surprisingly, the number of indecomposable summands in each degree can be computed exactly: we give an explicit formula for the corresponding generating function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-30T13:46:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B55", "17B10", "17B56" ], "keywords": [ "lie superalgebras", "support varieties", "kac modules", "z-complexity", "geometric interpretations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
