Lie superalgebras are a natural generalization of Lie algebras, having applications in geometry, number theory, gauge field theory, and string theory. This book develops the theory of Lie superalgebras, their enveloping algebras, and their representations. The book begins with five chapters on the basic properties of Lie superalgebras, including explicit constructions for all the classical simple Lie superalgebras. Borel subalgebras, which are more subtle in this setting, are studied and described. Contragredient Lie superalgebras are introduced, allowing a unified approach to several results, in particular to the existence of an invariant bilinear form on $\mathfrak{g}$. The enveloping alge...
If $G$ is a reductive algebraic group acting rationally on a smooth affine variety $X$, then it is generally believed that $D(X) $ has properties very similar to those of enveloping algebras of semisimple Lie algebras. In this book, the authors show that this is indeed the case when $G$ is a torus and $X=k \times (k ) $. They give a precise description of the primitive ideals in $D(X) $ and study in detail the ring theoretical and homological properties of the minimal primitive quotients of $D(X) $. The latter are of the form $B =D(X) /({\germ g}-\chi({\germ g}))$ where ${\germ g}= {\rm Lie}(G)$, $\chi\in {\germ g} ast$ and ${\germ g}-\chi({\germ g})$ is the set of all $v-\chi(v)$ with $v\in {\germ g}$. They occur as rings of twisted differential operators on toric varieties. It is also proven that if $G$ is a torus acting rationally on a smooth affine variety, then $D(X/\!/G)$ is a simple ring.
