Marked multi-colorings, partially commutative Lie superalgebras and right-angled Coxeter groups

Infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, particularly Borcherds-Kac-Moody (BKM) superalgebras, play a fundamental role in mathematical physics, number theory, and representation theory. In this paper, we study the root multiplicities of BKM superalgebras via their denominator identities, deriving explicit combinatorial formulas in terms of graph invariants associated with marked (quasi) Dynkin diagrams. We introduce partially commutative Lie superalgebras (PCLSAs) and provide a direct combinatorial proof of their denominator identity, where the generating set runs over the super heaps monoid. A key notion in our approach is marked multi-colorings and their associated polynomials, which generalize chromatic polynomials and offer a method for computing root multiplicities. As applications, we characterize the roots of PCLSAs and establish connections between their universal enveloping algebras and right-angled Coxeter groups, leading to explicit formulas for their Hilbert series. These results further deepen the interplay between Lie superalgebras, graph theory, and algebraic combinatorics.

Abstract

Infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, particularly Borcherds-Kac-Moody (BKM) superalgebras, play a fundamental role in mathematical physics, number theory, and representation theory. In this paper, we study the root multiplicities of BKM superalgebras via their denominator identities, deriving explicit combinatorial formulas in terms of graph invariants associated with marked (quasi) Dynkin diagrams. We introduce partially commutative Lie superalgebras (PCLSAs) and provide a direct combinatorial proof of their denominator identity, where the generating set runs over the super heaps monoid. A key notion in our approach is marked multi-colorings and their associated polynomials, which generalize chromatic polynomials and offer a method for computing root multiplicities. As applications, we characterize the roots of PCLSAs and establish connections between their universal enveloping algebras and right-angled Coxeter groups, leading to explicit formulas for their Hilbert series. These results further deepen the interplay between Lie superalgebras, graph theory, and algebraic combinatorics.
