Finite dimensional representations for orthosymplectic supergroups 

In this talk we will discuss the finite dimensional representation theory of the family
of orthosymplectic Lie supergroups.  Using the Deligne category and generalized Khovanov
algebras we describe the blocks of this category by giving a diagrammatic presentation
of the endomorphism ring of a projective pro-generator.  This relates the category to
versions of category O for classical Lie algebras, perverse sheaves, and
categorifications of quantum symmetric pairs.  This is joint work with Catharina
Stroppel.
