Since the center of the universal enveloping algebra $U$ acts trivially on all irreducible representations, we suggest to study the quotient algebra $\\bar{U}$ by the radical of $U$. We show that $\\bar{U}$ has a large center which separates typical finite dimensional irreducible representations. We give a description of $\\bar{U}$ factored by a generic central character. Using this description we obtain character formulae of generic (infinite-dimensional) irreducible representations. We also describe some geometric properties of the supervariety $Spec Gr \\bar{U}$ in the coadjoint representation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-19T08:19:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lie superalgebra", "typical finite dimensional irreducible representations", "generic central character", "separates typical finite dimensional irreducible", "large center" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
