A Minimal Representation of the Orthosymplectic Lie Supergroup

We construct a minimal representation of the orthosymplectic Lie supergroup $OSp(p,q|2n)$ for $p+q$ even, generalizing the Schrödinger model of the minimal representation of $O(p,q)$ to the super case. The underlying Lie algebra representation is realized on functions on the minimal orbit inside the Jordan superalgebra associated with $\mathfrak{osp}(p,q|2n)$, so that our construction is in line with the orbit philosophy. Its annihilator is given by a Joseph-like ideal for $\mathfrak{osp}(p,q|2n)$, and therefore the representation is a natural generalization of a minimal representation to the context of Lie superalgebras. We also calculate its Gelfand–Kirillov dimension and construct a nondegenerate sesquilinear form for which the representation is skew-symmetric and which is the analogue of an $L^2$-inner product in the supercase.

On Representations of sl(n, C) Compatible with a Z2-grading

This paper extends existing Lie algebra representation theory related to Lie algebra gradings. The notion of a representation compatible with a given grading is applied to finite-dimensional representations of sl(n,C) in relation to its Z2-gradings. For representation theory of sl(n,C) the Gel’fand-Tseitlin method turned out very efficient. We show that it is not generally true that every irreducible representation can be compatibly graded.

ON MULTI-COLOR PARTITIONS AND THE GENERALIZED ROGERS–RAMANUJAN IDENTITIES

Basil Gordon, in the sixties, and George Andrews, in the seventies, generalized the Rogers–Ramanujan identities to higher moduli. These identities arise in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. One of these areas is representation theory of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, where various known interpretations of these identities have led to interesting applications. Motivated by their connections with Lie algebra representation theory, we give a new interpretation of a sum related to generalized Rogers–Ramanujan identities in terms of multi-color partitions.
