A superdimension formula for gl(m|n) modules
arXiv:1409.1305
Abstract
We give a formula for the superdimension of a finite-dimensional simple gl(m|n)-module using the Su-Zhang character formula. As a corollary, we obtain a simple algebraic proof of a conjecture of Kac-Wakimoto for gl(m|n), namely, a simple module has nonzero superdimension if and only if it has maximal degree of atypicality. This conjecture was proven originally by Serganova using the Duflo-Serganova associated variety.
