Support varieties of semisimple-character representations for Cartan type Lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we study the support varieties for Lie algebras L of Cartan type. We give some description for the support varieties of any finitedimensional L-module with character \chi, whenever the height of the character \chi is not too large. And a more concrete computation can be made for a class of modules with semisimple characters.

Keywords

Lie algebra of Cartan type / generalized restricted Lie algebra / support variety / semisimple character / exceptional module
