On Blocks in Restricted Representations of Lie Superalgebras of Cartan Type

Abstract

Let g be a restricted Lie superalgebra of Cartan type W(n), S(n)or H(n) over an algebraically closed field k of prime characteristic p > 3, in the sense of modular version of Kac’s definition in 1977. In this note, we show that the restricted representation category over g has only one block (reckoning parities in). This phenomenon is very different from the case of characteristic zero.
