ABRR Summation Formulas for Relative Extremal Projectors

Abstract

In 2004, Khoroshkin proved that the extremal projector is equivalent to the dynamical twist. The Arnaudon-Buffenoir-Ragoucy-Roche (ABRR) equation, satisfied by the dynamical twist, yields a recursive formula for the coefficients in the extremal projector. The resulting summation formula is uniform and powerful in its applications to representation theory and Mickelsson-Zhelobenko reduction algebras. In this paper we generalize this recursive formula to the relative extremal projector, introduced by Conley and Sepanski in 2003. When the Levi subalgebra is the Cartan subalgebra, we recover the usual ABRR recursion. We also find a compact and explicit expression for the solution to the recursion. Our setting includes infinite-dimensional contragredient Lie superalgebras, Kac-Moody algebras, basic classical Lie superalgebras, and finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebras.
