The superline has one even and one odd coordinate. We consider the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on the superline. Its tensor density modules are a one-parameter family of deformations of the natural action on the ring of polynomials on the superline. They are parameterized by a complex number, and they are irreducible when this parameter is not zero. In this dissertation, we describe the annihilating ideals of these representations in the universal enveloping algebra of this Lie superalgebra by providing their generators. We also describe the intersection of all such ideals: the annihilator of the direct sum of the tensor density modules. The annihilating ideal of an irreducible non-zero left module is called a primitive ideal, and the space of all such ideals in the universal enveloping algebra is its primitive spectrum. The primitive spectrum is endowed with the Jacobson topology, which induces a topology on the annihilators of the tensor density modules. We conclude our discussion with a description of the annihilators as a topological space.

This thesis, consisting of three papers and a summary, studies properties of stratified algebras and representations of Lie superalgebras. In Paper I we give a characterization when the Ringel dual of an SSS-algebra is properly stratified. We show that for an SSS-algebra, whose Ringel dual is properly stratified, there is a (generalized) tilting module which allows one to compute the finitistic dimension of the SSS-algebra, and moreover, it gives rise to a new covariant Ringel-type duality. In Paper II we give a characterization of standardly stratified algebras in terms of certain filtrations of (left or right) projective modules, generalizing the corresponding theorem of V. Dlab. We extend the notion of Ringel duality to standardly stratified algebras and estimate their finitistic dimension in terms of endomorphism algebras of standard modules. Paper III deals with the queer Lie superalgebra and the corresponding BGG-category O. We show that the typical blocks correspond to standardly stratified algebras, and we generalize Kostant's Theorem to the queer Lie superalgebra.

Les fonctions génératrices des coefficients de Clebsch Gordan pour la superalgèbre de Lie osp(1|2) sont dérivées en utilisant deux approches. Une première approche généralise une méthode proposée par Granovskii et Zhedanov pour l'appliquer dans le cas de osp(1|2), une algèbre dont le coproduit est torsadé. Une seconde approche repose sur la réalisation de osp(1|2) en tant qu'algèbre dynamique d'un oscillateur parabosonique et utilise une équivalence dans cette réalisation entre le changements de coordonnées polaires à cartésiennes et le problème de Clebsch-Gordan. Un chapitre moins formel précède ces dérivations et présente comment le problème de Clebsch-Gordan s'interprète en tant que réalisation d'une algèbre de fusion. La notion abstraite de fusion est introduite, soulignant son importance en physique, pour en venir au cas particulier du problème de Clebsch-Gordan. Un survol du cas de l'algèbre osp(1|2) et de ses utilisations en physique mathématique conclut ce chapitre. / The generating functions for the osp(1|2) Lie superalgebra Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are derived using two approaches. The first one consists of generalizing a method first proposed by Granovskii and Zhedanov to apply it to the case of osp(1|2), an algebra with a twisted coproduct. The second one is based on the realization of the osp(1|2) as the dynamical algebra for a parabosonic oscillator and used an equivalence in this realization between a change of basis from polar to cartesian coordinates and the Clebsch-Gordan problem. A less formal chapter precedes those derivations and present how the Clebsch-Gordan problem can be interpreted as a realization of a fusion algebra. The abstract notion of fusion is introduced, mentionning its importance in physics, and leads to the particular case of the Clebsch-Gordan problem. A brief review of the problem for the osp(1|2) algebra and its uses in mathematical physics concludes this chapter.

Mémoire par articles. / Ce mémoire contient trois articles reliés par l'idée sous-jacente d'une généralisation de la dualité de Schur-Weyl. L'objectif principal est d'obtenir une description algébrique du centralisateur de l'image de l'action diagonale de U_q(sl_2) dans le produit tensoriel de trois représentations irréductibles, lorsque q n'est pas une racine de l'unité. La relation entre une algèbre de Askey-Wilson étendue AW(3) et ce centralisateur est examinée à cet effet. Dans le premier article, les éléments du centralisateur de l'action de U_q(sl_2) dans son produit tensoriel triple sont définis à l'aide de la matrice R universelle de U_q(sl_2). Il est montré que ces éléments respectent les relations définissantes de AW(3). Dans le deuxième article, la matrice R universelle de la superalgèbre de Lie osp(1|2) est utilisée de manière similaire avec l'algèbre de Bannai-Ito BI(3). Dans ce cas, le formalisme de la matrice R permet de définir l'algèbre de Bannai-Ito de rang supérieur BI(n) comme le centralisateur de l'action de osp(1|2) dans son produit tensoriel n-fois. Le troisième article propose une conjecture qui établit un isomorphisme entre un quotient de AW(3) et le centralisateur de l'image de l'action diagonale de U_q(sl_2) dans le produit tensoriel de trois représentations irréductibles quelconques. La conjecture est prouvée pour plusieurs cas, et les algèbres de Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl et Temperley-Lieb à une frontière sont retrouvées comme quotients de l'algèbre de Askey-Wilson. / This master thesis contains three articles related by the underlying idea of a generalization of the Schur-Weyl duality. The main objective is to obtain an algebraic description of the centralizer of the image of the diagonal action of U_q(sl_2) in the tensor product of three irreducible representations, when q is not a root of unity. The connection between a centrally extended Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3) and this centralizer is examined for this purpose. In the first article, the elements of the centralizer of the action of U_q(sl_2) in its threefold tensor product are defined with the help of the universal R-matrix of U_q(sl_2). These elements are shown to satisfy the defining relations of AW(3). In the second article, the universal R-matrix of the Lie superalgebra osp(1|2) is used in a similar fashion with the Bannai-Ito algebra BI(3). In this case, the formalism of the R-matrix allows to define the higher rank Bannai-Ito algebra BI(n) as the centralizer of the action of osp(1|2) in its n-fold tensor product. The third article proposes a conjecture that establishes an isomorphism between a quotient of AW(3) and the centralizer of the image of the diagonal action of U_q(sl_2) in the tensor product of any three irreducible representations. The conjecture is proved for several cases, and the Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl and one-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebras are recovered as quotients of the Askey-Wilson algebra.
