Abstract
We study the Dirac cohomology of supermodules over basic classical Lie superalgebras, formulated in terms of cubic Dirac operators associated with parabolic subalgebras. Specifically, we establish a super-analog of the Casselman–Osborne theorem for supermodules with an infinitesimal character and use it to show that the Dirac cohomology of highest weight supermodules is always non-trivial. In particular, we explicitly compute the Dirac cohomology of finite-dimensional simple supermodules for basic Lie superalgebras of type 1 with a typical highest weight, as well as of simple supermodules in the parabolic BGG category. We further investigate the relationship between Dirac cohomology and Kostant (co)homology, proving that, under suitable conditions, Dirac cohomology embeds into Kostant (co)homology. Moreover, we show that this embedding lifts to an isomorphism when the supermodule is unitarizable.
