The representations of the Lie superalgebra p(3) in prime characteristic

TL;DR
The paper addresses the modular representation theory of the Lie superalgebra $p(3)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$, aiming to classify all finite-dimensional irreducible modules and compute their characters. The authors develop restricted Lie superalgebra theory, introduce $p$-characters $\chi$, reduced enveloping algebras $U_\chi(g)$, and Kac modules $K_\chi(\lambda)$, with a PBW-type basis and dimension formula $\dim U_\chi(g)= p^{\dim g_0} 2^{\dim g_1}$. They classify simple modules for $p(3)$ by six orbit types of $\chi$ under GL(3), presenting detailed structures of $L_\chi^0(\lambda)$ for each case and computing maximal vectors in $K_\chi(\lambda)$ to obtain exact composition factors and character formulas. The results provide a complete, case-by-case description of irreducible modules and their characters for $p(3)$ in characteristic $p>3$, advancing the modular representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras.
Abstract
Let g be the Lie superalgebra p(3) of rank 2 over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p > 3. We classify all irreducible modules of g, and give the character formulae for irreducible modules.
