报告简介：

(A). Background:

Whittaker modules over finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebras are a natural generalization of modules in the BGG category O. A classification of simple Whittaker modules was obtained by McDowell and Milicic-Soergel based on the seminal work of Kostant. This construction was obtained by means of certain standard Whittaker modules. Furthermore, Milicic and Soergel developed the categoryN that contains these structural Whittaker modules. It contains a thick version of the BGG category O as a direct summand. Our goal is to introduce these classical results and to report on some recent progress of Whittaker modules in the category N for Lie superalgebras.

(B). Goals (expected):

Talk 1. In the first talk, we will review some background materials on the BGG category O for semisimple Lie algebras.

Talk 2. We will introduce the classical results of Kostant [1], McDowell [2], Milicic -Soergel [3] and Backelin [4]. We will study the standard Whittaker modules and and their composition factors.

Talk 3. We introduce the Whittaker category N. Furthermore, we will study the structure of the category N.

Talks 4, 5. Finally, we explain the construction of standard and simple Whittaker modules for Lie superalgebras. Furthermore, we explain an equivalence between a full subcategory of N and a certain projectively presentable modules in the category O.
