  1. The generalized Kac-Wakimoto conjecture and support varieties for the Lie superalgebra osp(m|2n).

    Abstract

    Atypicality is a fundamental combinatorial invariant for simple supermodules
    of a basic Lie superalgebra. Boe, Nakano, and the author gave a conjectural
    geometric interpretation of atypicality via support varieties. Inspired by low
    dimensional topology, Geer, Patureau-Mirand, and the author gave a
    generalization of the Kac-Wakimoto atypicality conjecture. We prove both of
    these conjectures for the Lie superalgebra osp(m|2n).

  2. Generalized trace and modified dimension functions on ribbon categories.

    Abstract

    In this paper we use topological techniques to construct generalized trace
    and modified dimension functions on ideals in certain ribbon categories.
    Examples of such ribbon categories naturally arise in representation theory
    where the usual trace and dimension functions are zero, but these generalized
    trace and modified dimension functions are non-zero.
