Atypicality conjecture for support variety dimensions

Let g{\mathfrak{g}} be a simple basic classical Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate invariant supersymmetric even bilinear form, and let L(λ)L(\lambda) be a finite dimensional simple g{\mathfrak{g}}-supermodule. The atypicality of L(λ)L(\lambda), denoted atyp(L(λ))\operatorname{atyp}(L(\lambda)), is the maximal number of linearly independent, mutually orthogonal, positive isotropic roots αΦ+\alpha\in\Phi^+ satisfying (λ+ρ,α)=0(\lambda+\rho,\alpha)=0, where

ρ=12(αΦ0ˉ+ααΦ1ˉ+α).\rho=\frac{1}{2}\left(\sum_{\alpha\in\Phi^+_{\bar 0}}\alpha-\sum_{\alpha\in\Phi^+_{\bar 1}}\alpha\right).

Atypicality conjecture.

atyp(L(λ))=dimV(g,g0ˉ)(L(λ)).\operatorname{atyp}(L(\lambda))=\dim {\mathcal V}_{({\mathfrak{g}},{\mathfrak{g}}_{\bar 0})}(L(\lambda)).

This modifies the earlier atypicality conjecture by expressing the expected equality using the support variety for the pair (g,g0ˉ)({\mathfrak{g}},{\mathfrak{g}}_{\bar 0}), rather than a detecting subalgebra. The corresponding statement was verified for g=gl(mn){\mathfrak g}=\mathfrak{gl}(m|n), while the general case for simple basic classical Lie superalgebras remains open.
