Abstract

The goal of our work is to study the decomposition of the joint action of G=SpO(2n1)\mathscr{G} = \text{SpO}(2n|1) and g=osp(22)\mathfrak{g}' = \mathfrak{osp}(2|2) on the supersymmetric algebra S=S(C2n1C11)\text{S} = \text{S}(\mathbb{C}^{2n|1} \otimes \mathbb{C}^{1|1}). As proved by Merino and Salmasian, we have a one-to-one correspondence between irreducible representations of G\mathscr{G} and g\mathfrak{g}' appearing as subrepresentations of S\text{S}. In this paper, we obtained an explicit description of the highest weights and joint highest weight vectors for the representations of G\mathscr{G} and g\mathfrak{g}' appearing in the duality.
