Abstract

Let GMG_M be one of the complex Lie groups OMO_M and SpMSp_M. The irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the group GMG_M are labeled by partitions μ\mu satisfying certain extra conditions. Let UU be the representation of GMG_M corresponding to μ\mu. Regard the direct product GN×GMG_N\times G_M as a subgroup of GN+MG_{N+M}. Let VV be the irreducible representation of GN+MG_{N+M} corresponding to a partition λ\lambda. Consider the vector space W=HomGM(U,V)W=Hom_{G_M}(U,V). It comes with a natural action of the group GNG_N. Let nn be sum of parts of λ\lambda less the sum of parts of μ\mu. For any choice of a standard Young tableau of skew shape λ/μ\lambda/\mu, we realize WW as a subspace in the tensor product of nn copies of the defining NN-dimensional representation of GNG_N. This subspace is determined as the image of a certain linear operator F(M)F(M) in the tensor product, given by an explicit formula. When M=0 and W=VW=V is an irreducible representation of GNG_N, we recover the classical realization of VV as a subspace in the space of all traceless tensors. Then the operator F(0) can be regarded as the analogue for GNG_N of the Young symmetrizer, corresponding to the chosen standard tableau of shape λ\lambda. Even in the special case M=0, our formula for the operator F(M)F(M) is new. Our results are applications of representation theory of the twisted Yangian, corresponding to GNG_N. In particular, F(M)F(M) is an intertwining operator between two representations of the twisted Yangian in the nn-fold tensor product.
