Finite $W$-superalgebras for queer Lie superalgebras

Abstract

We initiate and develop the theory of finite $W$-superalgebras $\mathcal{W}_\chi$ associated to the queer Lie superalgebra $\g=\q(N)$ and a nilpotent linear functional $\chi \in \ev\g^*$. We show that the definition of the $W$-superalgebra is independent of various choices. We also establish a Skryabin type equivalence between the category of $\mathcal{W}_\chi$-modules and a category of certain $\g$-modules.
