In [2] (Preprint, 2006, arXiv:math.RT/0609363) the authors initiated a study of the representation theory of classical Lie superalgebras via a cohomological approach. Detecting subalgebras were constructed and a theory of support varieties was developed. The dimension of a detecting subalgebra coincides with the defect of the Lie superalgebra, and the dimension of the support variety for a simple supermodule was conjectured to equal the atypicality of the supermodule. In this paper the authors compute the support varieties of Kac supermodules for Type‐I Lie superalgebras and of the simple supermodules for gl (m|n). The latter result verifies our earlier conjecture for gl (m|n). In our investigation we also delineate several of the major differences between Type‐I versus Type‐II classical Lie superalgebras. Finally, the connection between atypicality, defect and superdimension is made more precise by using the theory of support varieties and representations of Clifford superalgebras.
