Abstract

For a finite dimensional unital complex simple Jordan superalgebra JJ, the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction yields a 3-graded Lie superalgebra gg(1)g(0)g(1)\mathfrak g_\flat\cong \mathfrak g_\flat(-1)\oplus\mathfrak g_\flat(0)\oplus\mathfrak g_\flat(1), such that g(1)J\mathfrak g_\flat(-1)\cong J. Set V:=g(1)V:=\mathfrak g_\flat(-1)^* and g:=g(0)\mathfrak g:=\mathfrak g_\flat(0). In most cases, the space P(V)\mathcal P(V) of superpolynomials on VV is a completely reducible and multiplicity-free representation of g\mathfrak g, with a decomposition P(V):=λΩVλ\mathcal P(V):=\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Omega}V_\lambda, where (Vλ)λΩ\left(V_\lambda\right)_{\lambda\in\Omega} is a family of irreducible g\mathfrak g-modules parametrized by a set of partitions Ω\Omega. In these cases, one can define a natural basis (Dλ)λΩ\left(D_\lambda\right)_{\lambda\in\Omega} of "Capelli operators" for the algebra PD(V)g\mathcal{PD}(V)^{\mathfrak g}. In this paper we complete the solution to the Capelli eigenvalue problem, which is to determine the scalar cμ(λ)c_\mu(\lambda) by which DμD_\mu acts on VλV_\lambda. We associate a restricted root system Σ\mathit{\Sigma} to the symmetric pair (g,k)(\mathfrak g,\mathfrak k) that corresponds to JJ, which is either a deformed root system of type A(m,n)\mathsf{A}(m,n) or a root system of type Q(n)\mathsf{Q}(n). We prove a necessary and sufficient condition on the structure of Σ\mathit{\Sigma} for P(V)\mathcal{P}(V) to be completely reducible and multiplicity-free. When Σ\mathit{\Sigma} satisfies the latter condition we obtain an explicit formula for the eigenvalue cμ(λ)c_\mu(\lambda), in terms of Sergeev-Veselov's shifted super Jack polynomials when Σ\mathit{\Sigma} is of type A(m,n)\mathsf{A}(m,n), and Okounkov-Ivanov's factorial Schur QQ-polynomials when Σ\mathit{\Sigma} is of type Q(n)\mathsf{Q}(n).
