Abstract

We solve two problems in representation theory for the periplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}\mathfrak{e}(n)$, namely, the description of the primitive spectrum in terms of functorial realisations of the braid group and the decomposition of category ${\mathcal{O}}$ into indecomposable blocks.

To solve the first problem, we establish a new type of equivalence between category ${\mathcal{O}}$ for all (not just simple or basic) classical Lie superalgebras and a category of Harish-Chandra bimodules. The latter bimodules have a left action of the Lie superalgebra but a right action of the underlying Lie algebra. To solve the second problem, we establish a BGG reciprocity result for the periplectic Lie superalgebra.
