Abstract

We study the effects of the branching osp(12n)gl(n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)\supset \mathfrak{gl}(n) on a particular class of simple infinite-dimensional osp(12n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)-modules L(p)L(p) characterized by a positive integer pp. In the first part we use combinatorial methods such as Young tableaux and Young subgroups to construct a new basis for L(p)L(p) that respects this branching and we express the basis elements explicitly in two distinct ways. First as monomials of negative root vectors of gl(n)\mathfrak{gl}(n) acting on the gl(n)\mathfrak{gl}(n)-highest weight vectors in L(p)L(p) and then as polynomials in the generators of osp(12n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n) acting on the osp(12n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)-lowest weight vector in L(p)L(p). In the second part we use extremal projectors and the theory of Mickelsson-Zhelobenko algebras to give new explicit constructions of raising and lowering operators related to the branching osp(12n)gl(n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)\supset \mathfrak{gl}(n). We use the raising operators to give new expressions for the elements of the Gel'fand-Zetlin basis for L(p)L(p) as monomials of operators from U(osp(12n))U(\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)) acting on the osp(12n)\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)-lowest weight vector in L(p)L(p). We observe that the Gel'fand-Zetlin basis for L(p)L(p) is related to the basis constructed earlier in the paper by a triangular transition matrix. We end the paper with a detailed example treating the case n=3n=3.
