Abstract

In this paper, we study the representations of the periplectic Lie superalgebra using the Duflo–Serganova functor. Given a simple $𝔭 (n)$ -module $L$ and a certain odd element $x \in 𝔭 (n)$ of rank $1$ , we give an explicit description of the composition factors of the $𝔭 (n - 1)$ -module ${DS}_{x} (L)$ , which is defined as the homology of the complex

Π M \to_{}^{x} M \to_{}^{x} Π M,

where $Π$ denotes the parity-change functor $(-) \otimes ℂ^{0 | 1}$ .

In particular, we show that this $𝔭 (n - 1)$ -module is multiplicity-free.

We then use this result to give a simple explicit combinatorial formula for the superdimension of a simple integrable finite-dimensional $𝔭 (n)$ -module, based on its highest weight. In particular, this reproves the Kac–Wakimoto conjecture for $𝔭 (n)$ , which was proved earlier by the authors.
