Abstract

Let λ:G~G\lambda: \tilde{G}\to G be the non-trivial double covering of the symplectic group G=Sp(V,ω)G=Sp(V,\omega) of the symplectic vector space (V,ω)(V,\omega) by the metaplectic group G~=Mp(V,ω).\tilde{G}=Mp(V,\omega). In this case, λ\lambda is also a representation of G~\tilde{G} on the vector space VV and thus, it gives rise to the representation of G~\tilde{G} on the space of exterior forms V\bigwedge^{\bullet}V^* by taking wedge products. Let SS be the minimal globalization of the Harish-Chandra module of the complex Segal-Shale-Weil representation of the metaplectic group G~.\tilde{G}. We prove that the associative commutant algebra EndG~(VS)\hbox{End}_{\tilde{G}}(\bigwedge^{\bullet}V^*\otimes S) of the metaplectic group G~\tilde{G} acting on the SS-valued exterior forms is generated by certain representation of the super ortho-symplectic Lie algebra osp(12)osp(1|2) and two distinguished operators. This establishes a Howe type duality between the metaplectic group and the super Lie algebra osp(12).\mathfrak{osp}(1|2). Also the space VS\bigwedge^{\bullet}V^*\otimes S is decomposed wr. to the joint action of Mp(V,ω)Mp(V,\omega) and osp(12).osp(1|2).
