Abstract
In this paper, we study the parabolic BGG categories for graded Lie superalgebras of Cartan type over the field of complex numbers. The gradation of such a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ naturally arises, with the zero component $\mathfrak{g}_{0}$ being a reductive Lie algebra. We first show that there are only two proper parabolic subalgebras containing Levi subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}_{0}$: the “maximal one” $\mathsf{P}_{\max}$ and the “minimal one” $\mathsf{P}_{\min}$. Furthermore, the parabolic BGG category arising from $\mathsf{P}_{\max}$ essentially turns out to be a subcategory of the one arising from $\mathsf{P}_{\min}$. Such a priority of $\mathsf{P}_{\min}$ in the sense of representation theory reduces the question to the study of the “minimal parabolic” BGG category $\mathcal{O}^{\min}$ associated with $\mathsf{P}_{\min}$. We prove the existence of projective covers of simple objects in these categories, which enables us to establish a satisfactory block theory. Most notably, our main results are as follows.
(1) We classify and obtain a precise description of the blocks of $\mathcal{O}^{\min}$.
(2) We investigate indecomposable tilting and indecomposable projective modules in $\mathcal{O}^{\min}$, and compute their character formulas.
