Definition: Lie superalgebra

A Lie superalgebra over C is a Z/2-graded vector space (over C)L = L(0) ⊕ L(1) with a map [·, ·] : L⊗ L→ L of Z/2-graded spaces,satisfying:

1 (anti-symmetry) [x , y ] = −(−1)|x ||y |[y , x ] for all homogeneousx , y ∈ L,

2 (Jacobi identity)(−1)|x ||z|[x , [y , z ]]+(−1)|y ||x |[y , [z , x ]]+(−1)|z||y |[z , [x , y ]] = 0for all homogeneous x , y , z ∈ L.

Here |x | is the parity of x : |x | = i when x ∈ L(i) for i = 0, 1. Anelement x in L(0) or L(1) is termed even or odd respectively. Werecover the familiar definition of a Lie algebra (over C) in the caseL = L(0).

A graded Lie superalgebra is a Lie superalgebra L together witha grading compatible with the bracket and supergrading. That is,L =

Koszul dual as universal envelope

Koszul dual as universal envelope

Assume that A = T (V )/I is commutative, hence∧2 V ⊂ I .

Therefore I⊥ is contained in S2(V ∗), and so is generated by certainlinear combinations of anti-commutators [a∗i , a

∗j ] = a∗i a∗j + a∗j a∗i .

As a consequence, the Koszul quadratic dual of A can be describedas the universal envelope of a graded Lie superalgebra,

A! = U(L), L =⊕m≥1

Lm = L(V ∗)/J, (1)

where L is the free Lie superalgebra functor, the space of (odd)generators V ∗ is concentrated in degree 1, and J is the Lie idealwith the same generators as I⊥ but viewed as linear combinationsof supercommutators.

The algebra of syzygies (I)

Definition: the algebra of syzygies

Let A be a commutative C-algebra which is a module over S(V ),and suppose we have a minimal free resolution of A,

· · · → F2 → F1 → F0 → A→ 0.

This is an exact sequence of graded free S(V )-modules,

Fp =⊕q≥mp

Rpq ⊗ S(V ),

where Rpq is the finite dimensional vector spaces of p-th ordersyzygies of degree q for A, and mp is the minimum degreeamong the p-th order syzygies.

Introduction: Berkovits’ example

In his work on string quantization and string/gauge theoryduality [4], Berkovits uses crucially Koszul duality theory forcommutative algebras.

There, the coordinate algebra of the orthogonal GrassmannianA = OGr(5, 10), related to the spinor representation of thegroup SO(10,C) is considered.

This algebra A is quadratic, and hence we know that itsKoszul dual A! is U(L) the universal enveloping algebra of acertain (graded) Lie superalgebra L =

⊕i≥1 Li .

Berkovits’ first observation, made in the context of string andgauge theories, was that the algebra of syzygies of A isisomorphic to the cohomology H∗(L≥2,C) of the Liesuperalgebra L≥2 =

⊕i≥2 Li .

He proposed an extension of the Koszul complex of thecoordinate algebra of OGr(5, 10), relevant for his quantizationprocedure, and considered the question of calculating itshomology.

This extension is worthy of study for more general algebras.

Berkovits’ construction is an iteration of the Koszul homologyof a sequence of elements of an algebra, first applied to thealgebra A and then applied to its syzygies.

As we recalled there is a notion of Koszul homology withrespect to a sequence of elements {a1, .., an} of acommutative algebra A.

And we recalled as well that if A is finitely generated andpresented as C[a1, ..., an]/I , the Koszul homology with respectto the sequence {ai} gives the algebra of syzygies of A.

The generators Γj of the ideal I represent syzygies in thelowest degree.

The Koszul homology of the algebra of syzygies with respectto the sequence Γj is the homology studied by Berkovits. Thisis what we call the algebra of generalized syzygies.

It turns out that if A is Koszul, the generalized syzygies canalso be described explicitly in terms of the Lie superalgebra L.This was shown by Movshev and Schwarz in [12] for the caseof the coordinate algebra of the OGr(5, 10).

There was proved that in that case the homology of theBerkovits complex is isomorphic to the cohomologyH∗(L≥3,C) of the Lie superalgebra L≥3 =

⊕i≥3 Li .

Our aim is to extend these statements about H∗(L≥3,C) fromthe coordinate algebra of the orthogonal Grassmannian to anarbitrary finitely generated commutative Koszul algebra.

Further examples are supplied by the orbits of the highestweight vector in an irreducible representation of a semisimplecomplex Lie group, as studied by Gorodentsev, Khoroshkinand Rudakov [9].

We prove in our Main Theorem that the cohomology of theLie algebra L≥3 is isomorphic to the Berkovits homology of A.

Since A is finitely generated, Hilbert’s syzygy theorem saysthat the algebra of syzygies of A is finite dimensional.

We expect the Lie superalgebra L≥k ⊂ L≥3 to be a free Liesuperalgebra for some k .

Movshev and Schwarz, in [12], proved that L≥3 is a free Liesuperalgebra on an infinite set of generators in the case of thecoordinate algebra of pure spinors.

From the point of view of the gauge theory, freeness of L≥k isimportant because it implies that the solution to theEuler-Lagrange equations for an abelian gauge group can bedeformed to the solutions for a non-abelian gauge group.

A commutative Koszul algebra A has a nice resolution in thecategory of algebras, given by the Chevalley complex of theLie superalgebra L.

Our main idea is to lift the Koszul differential which calculatesthe generalized syzygies to this resolution and subsequentlycalculate its homology.

This requires a correction term to the naively lifted differentialto guarantee that the lift squares to zero.

This makes heavy use of the homological perturbation lemmaa la Barnes and Lambe [3].

Let B be acontractible DG subalgebra of C , with quasi-isomorphismε : B → C, and consider the DG ideal 〈B〉 of C generated by theaugmentation ideal B = ker(ε). If 〈B〉 is freely generated as aB-module by a graded basis of homogeneous elementsZ =

Some properties of the Chevalley complex

dC : Ch1(L)→ Ch2(L) is the map that is dual to the bracket,

(dC f )(x0, x1) = −f [x0, x1].

The Chevalley complex is a cochain complex that calculatesthe cohomology of L with trivial coefficients, H∗(L,C).

This complex admits an algebra structure that descends toone on the cohomology of L so that the differential dC is aderivation with respect to its product.

That is, given ϕ ∈(∧i L

)∗and ψ ∈

(∧j L)∗

,

ϕ� ψ ∈(∧i+j L

)∗and dC (ϕ� ψ) = dCϕ� ψ ± ϕ� dCψ.

Since Ch0(L) = S(V ), this implies thatK (S(V )) = Ch0(L)⊗

∧W is a subalgebra in X .

The restriction of the differential to this subalgebra is dK , andhence is a resolution of C.

This satisfies the conditions of Key Lemma above and X isquasi-isomorphic to X/〈K (S(V ))〉, where 〈K (S(V ))〉 is theDG ideal in X generated by the augmentation ideal ofK (S(V )). Hence,Hi (X ) = Hi (X/〈K (S(V ))〉) = Hi (Ch(L≥2)), asCh0(L) = Ch(L1).

It is clear that both interpretations of the homology respectthe multiplicative structure: X/〈K (S(V ))〉 inherits itsmultiplicative structure from X and the spectral sequence willalso respect it.

The setup

As before L =⊕

Li where U(L) = A!. The vector space L2 hasthe same dimension as S2(V ∗)/I⊥ ∼= I ∗ and the generators of I arelinearly independent, so we have a basis {q1, . . . , qm} of L∗2 suchthat

The idea

Define Y as:

Ch(L)⊗∧

(θ1, . . . , θn)⊗ C[y1, . . . , ym],

Idea of the proof

Step 1

The Koszul complex (P, dK ) of the sequence θ1, . . . , θn in Ch(L1)and the Koszul complex (Q, dS) of y1, . . . , ym in Ch(L2) arecontractible, as is the product (P ⊗ Q, dK + dS).

Step 2

We perturb the differential on P ⊗ Q to the differential on T byusing the homological perturbation lemma of [3].

Step 3

The perturbed homotopy is well-defined, so T has a strongdeformation retraction to (C, 0) concentrated in degree zero.

The complexes (P, dK ) and (Q, dS) are contractible.In fact, there are strong deformation retractions

Step 2

However, ∂ = dK + dS is not the differential we are interested in;we want to consider instead the complex with a perturbeddifferential,

(P ⊗ Q, ∂ + ∂′).

Step 2 continued

In order to show the complex with the new differential is alsocontractible we apply the homological perturbation lemma (see forexample [3]). This says there is a unique perturbation of thedeformation retraction

That is, for each element γ the expression

(∂′ϕ)N(γ)

is zero for sufficiently large N = N(γ). In this case

Step 3

We proceed to prove the local nilpotency condition required.

Suppose α⊗β ∈ P ⊗Q with β ∈∧≤s(q1, . . . , qm)⊗C[y1, . . . , ym].

If s = 0 then ∂′ϕ(α⊗ β) = 0, and if s > 0 then

∂′ϕ(α⊗ β) ∈ P ⊗∧≤(s−1)(q1, . . . , qm)⊗ C[y1, . . . , ym]

Hence (∂′ϕ)m+1 = 0.

Idea of proof

We have that T is a subalgebra in Y .

We showed in a Proposition above that T is a resolution of C.This satisfies the conditions of the Key Lemma and Y isquasi-isomorphic to Y /〈T 〉, where 〈T 〉 is the DG ideal in Ygenerated by the augmentation ideal of T . Hence,Hi (Y ) = Hi (Y /〈T 〉) = Hi (Ch(L≥3)).

Idea of proof, continued

Now, consider the filtration of X

{0} ⊂ F0X ⊂ F1X ⊂ · · · ⊂ FnX ⊂ . . . ,

given by

FpYq :=∑j≤p

∑i+j=p+q

Chi (L)⊗(∧

(θ1, . . . , θn)⊗ C[y1, . . . , ym])j.

The differential on the E0-term of the spectral sequenceassociated to this filtration is dC .

Since,∧

(θ1, . . . , θn)⊗ C[y1, . . . , ym] is a vector space over C,it is flat as a C-module.

Idea of proof, ended

As Ch(L) is a resolution for A, we can conclude that theE1-term of the spectral sequence is contained in one line andis given by,

A⊗∧

(θ1, . . . , θn)⊗ C[y1, . . . , ym]

with precisely the Berkovits differential.

Hence, the homology of this complex is also H∗Ber (A).

The result follows by converting the grading to thecohomological grading of the Chevalley complex.
