This work was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (No. 2012-0002607). 1 2 JAE-HOONKWON For a contragredient Lie superalgebra g [18], a theoretical background of crystal bases for the quantum superalgebra U (g) is given by Benkart, Kang and Kashiwara q in [2]. The existence of a crystal base is shown when g is a general linear Lie super- algebra gl [2] and a queer Lie superalgebra q [14, 15] for a special class of finite m|n n dimensional modules appearing in a tensor power of the natural representation V of U (g), often called polynomial representations. We should remark that the crystal q base theory for these two Lie superalgebras is not parallel to that of a symmetriz- able Kac-Moody algebra due to the same substantial difficulties encountered when we consider the representations of classical Lie superalgebras compared to those of Lie algebras. For example, a finite dimensional representation of g is not semisimple in general. Indeed, the above results for g = gl and q are based on the semisim- m|n n plicity of V⊗r, and closely related with the Schur-Weyl-Sergeev dualities [31]. Also, there is a work on crystal bases of a family of infinite dimensional representations of D(2|1,α) [34]. There is another important class in classical Lie superalgebras called orthosym- plectic Lie superalgebras. However, there is little known about the existence of its crystal bases except for osp , which is a Kac-Moody superalgebra of type B(0,r), 1|2r and where we can apply the crystal base theory developed in [17]. In this paper, we construct for the first time crystal bases of a large family of semisimple modules over a quantum orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra. We also prove the uniqueness of these crystal bases and give a combinatorial model for the associated crystals. 1.2. Let us explain our results in more details. Our first step is to find a nice semisimplecategoryofmodulesoveraquantumorthosymplecticsuperalgebra. Since a tensor power of the natural representation of an orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra is not semisimple in general, we take a completely different approach inspired by a recent work of Cheng, Lam and Wang on super duality [7]. Super duality is an equivalence between a parabolic BGG category O(m + ∞) of modules over the classical Lie algebras g and a category O(m|∞) of mod- m+∞ ules over the basic classical Lie superalgebras g of infinite rank, where g = m|∞ gl,b,b•,c,d. (From now on, we use g as a symbol representing the type of a Lie su- peralgebra.) It was originally introduced in [8, 10] as a conjecture in case of general linear Lie superalgebras and later proved by Cheng and Lam [6]. Then the duality for orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras was established by Cheng, Lam and Wang [7]. One of its most remarkable and powerful features is that super duality reveals a natural connection with the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory of Lie algebras. 3 We consider the semisimple subcategory Oint(m|∞) of O(m|∞) equivalent to the subcategory Oint(m+∞) of integrable modules in O(m+∞) under super duality. It is known that Oint(m|∞) is the category of polynomial modules when g is m|∞ a general linear Lie superalgebra, that is, g = gl, [9]. Motivated by this fact, we prove that when g is orthosymplectic, that is, g = b,b•,c,d, Oint(m|∞) is a full m|∞ subcategory of O(m|∞) such that the weights of each object are polynomial with respect to a suitably chosen dual basis of the Cartan subalgebra (Theorem 3.7). We have a similar result for a category Oint(m|n) of modules over g of finite rank, m|n where Oint(m|n) is obtained from Oint(m|∞) by applying the truncation functor. We should note that Oint(m|∞) is not characterized only by locally nilpotent ac- tions of positive simple root vectors since the odd isotropic root vectors are always nilpotent on g -modules. m|n Unlike the case of g = gl, the irreducible modules in Oint(m|n) are infinite di- mensional when g = b,b•,c,d and n > 0, which were called oscillator modules and studied via Howe duality in [5]. But one may still regard Oint(m|n) as a natural counterpartofthecategoryOint(m+n)offinitedimensionalmodulesoverg offi- m+n niterank,sincebothofthemareobtainedfromtwoequivalentcategories Oint(m|∞) and Oint(m+∞) by truncation, respectively (see the diagram below, where F is the super duality functor and tr is truncation functor). n O(m+∞) ∼ // O(m|∞) F Oint(mS+∞) ∼ // Oint(Sm|∞) F trn trn (cid:15)(cid:15) (cid:15)(cid:15) Oint(m+n) Oint(m|n) Then we consider q-deformations of g -modules in Oint(m|n) for g = b,b•,c,d. m|n More precisely, based on our characterization of Oint(m|n), we consider a category Oint(m|n) of U (g )-modules with the same conditions on weights. By using the q q m|n method of classical limit and the semisimplicity of Oint(m|n), we show the following (Theorem 4.3). Theorem. Oint(m|n) is a semisimple tensor category equivalent to Oint(m|n). q An irreducible highest weight module in Oint(m|n) is parametrized by P(g) , q m|n which is a set of pairs (λ,ℓ) of a partition and a positive integer, and its highest weight is denoted by Λ (λ,ℓ). Let L (g ,Λ (λ,ℓ)) be an irreducible highest m|n q m|n m|n weight U (g )-module with highest weight Λ (λ,ℓ). q m|n m|n 4 JAE-HOONKWON The notion of a crystal base of a module in Oint(m|n) can be defined following [2] q for g = b,b•,c,d. We first consider a U (g )-module V with a crystal base, which q m|n q is a Fock space over a q-deformed Clifford-Weyl algebra (cf.[11]). An irreducible summand of V is a highest weight module, which corresponds to a fundamental q weight U (g )-module under super duality, and each highest weight module in q m+n Oint(m|n) can be embedded into V⊗M for some M ≥ 1. q q Now, we consider the cases when g = b,b•,c. To describe the connected compo- nent in the crystal of V⊗M includingahighest weight vector with weight Λ (λ,ℓ), q m|n weintroduceanewcombinatorialobjectcalledorthosymplectictableaux(depending on g), which is partly motivated by [32]. Let T (λ,ℓ) denote the set of orthosym- m|n plectic tableaux of shape(λ,ℓ). We show that the character of T (λ,ℓ) is equal to m|n that of L (g ,Λ (λ,ℓ)), and T (λ,ℓ) is a connected crystal, where the crystal q m|n m|n m|n structure on T (λ,ℓ) is naturally induced from that on V⊗M. Using these facts, m|n q we prove the following, which is the main result in this paper (Theorem 8.8). Theorem. Each highest weight module in Oint(m|n) has a unique crystal base for q g =b,b•,c. Moreover, the crystal of L (g ,Λ (λ,ℓ)) is isomorphic to T (λ,ℓ) q m|n m|n m|n for (λ,ℓ) ∈ P(g) . m|n We remark that an orthosymplectic tableau is defined over an arbitrary linearly ordered Z -graded set A and its main advantage is compatibility with super du- 2 ality functor F and truncation functor tr . More precisely, the set of orthosym- n plectic tableaux of shape (λ,ℓ) gives both irreducible characters in Oint(m + n) q and Oint(m|n) with suitable choices of A. The Schur positivity of the character of q orthosymplectic tableaux of shape (λ,ℓ) plays a crucial role in proving this compat- ibility. Also, when A is a finite set with even elements, we have an explicit bijection between orthosymplectic tableaux and Kashiwara-Nakashima tableaux [26] of type B and C. 1.3. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we recall the definition of orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras g based on [9]. In Section 3, we briefly review m|n super duality and present a simple characterization of Oint(m|n). In Section 4, we define Oint(m|n) and show that it is a semisimple tensor category. In Section 5, we q review the notion of a crystal base for a quantum superalgebra [2] and prove the existence of a crystal base of a q-deformed Fock space V . Then we introduce our q main combinatorial object T (λ,ℓ) in Section 6, and show that its character gives m|n an irreduciblecharacter in Oint(m|n) for g = b,b•,c in Section 7. Finally, in Section q 8, we show that L (g ,Λ (λ,ℓ)) has a unique crystal base for g = b,b•,c and q m|n m|n (λ,ℓ) ∈ P(g) , whose crystal is isomorphic to T (λ,ℓ). m|n m|n 5 Acknowledgement The author would like to thank S.-J.
