The Duflo-Serganova functors DS are tensor functors relating representations of different Lie superalgebras. In this talk I will consider the behaviour of various invariants, such as the defect, the dual Coxeter number, the atypicality and the cores, under the DS-functor. I will introduce a notion of depth playing the role of defect for algebras and atypicality for modules. I will mainly concentrate on examples of symmetrizable Kac-Moody and Q-type superalgebras.

The talk is based on this arXiv paper.
