Abstract:

The author establishes the finite generation of the cohomology ring of a classical Lie superalgebra relative to an even subsuperalgebra. A spectral sequence is constructed to provide conditions for when this relative cohomology ring is Cohen–Macaulay. With finite generation established, support varieties for modules are defined via the relative cohomology, which generalize those of Boe, Kujawa, and Nakano [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 262 (2010), no. 12, 6551-6590].
