Support varieties are a method which uses cohomology to bring commutative algebra and algebraic geometry to places where it doesn’t obviously belong. Lie superalgebras are a graded analogue of Lie algebras and they seem well adapted this technology. In this talk, I will give an overview of recent efforts to use support varieties to study the representation theory of Lie superalgebras.
The talk will cover joint work with Boe, Nakano, and Drupieski.
This video is part of the New Directions in Group Theory and Triangulated Categories seminar series.
