Abstract

In this paper, we obtain a full classification of reductive dual pairs in a, real or complex, Lie superalgebra spo(E)\mathfrak{spo}(E) and Lie supergroup SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(E). Moreover, by looking at the natural action of the orthosymplectic Lie supergroup SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(E) on the Weyl-Clifford algebra WC(E)\textbf{WC}(E), we prove that for a reductive dual pair (G,G)=((G,g),(G,g))(\mathscr{G}\,, \mathscr{G}') = ((G\,, \mathfrak{g})\,, (G'\,, \mathfrak{g}')) in SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(E), the superalgebra WC(E)G\textbf{WC}(E)^{\mathscr{G}} consisting of G\mathscr{G}-invariant elements in WC(E)\textbf{WC}(E) is generated by the Lie superalgebra g\mathfrak{g}'. We obtain a full classification of reductive dual pairs in the (real or complex) Lie superalgebra spo(E)\mathfrak{spo}(\mathrm E) and the Lie supergroup SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(\mathrm E). Using this classification we prove that for a reductive dual pair (G,G)=((G,g),(G,g))(\mathscr{G}\,, \mathscr{G}') = ((\mathrm G\,, \mathfrak{g})\,, (\mathrm G'\,, \mathfrak{g}')) in SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(\mathrm E), the superalgebra WC(E)G\textbf{WC}(\mathrm E)^{\mathscr{G}} consisting of G\mathscr{G}-invariant elements in the Weyl-Clifford algebra WC(E)\textbf{WC}(\mathrm E), equipped with the natural action of the orthosymplectic Lie supergroup SpO(E)\textbf{SpO}(\mathrm E), is generated by the Lie superalgebra g\mathfrak{g}'. As an application, we prove that Howe duality holds for the dual pairs (SpO(2n1),OSp(2k2l))SpO(C2k2lC2n1)({\textbf{SpO}}(2n|1)\,, {\textbf{OSp}}(2k|2l)) \subseteq {\textbf{SpO}}(\mathbb{C}^{2k|2l} \otimes \mathbb{C}^{2n|1}).
