We study a dual pair of general linear Lie superalgebras in the sense of R. Howe. We give an explicit multiplicity-free decomposition of a symmetric and skew-symmetric algebra (in the super sense) under the action of the dual pair and…

We establish classical and categorical Howe dualities between the Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{p}(m)$ and $\mathfrak{p}(n)$, for $m,n \geq 1$. We also describe a presentation via generators and relations as well as a Kostant…

Let $\mathbb{S}$ denote the oscillatory module over the complex symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{sp}(\mathbb{V}^{\mathbb{C}},\omega).$ Consider the $\mathfrak{g}$-module…

We establish a new Howe duality between a pair of two queer Lie superalgebras (q(m),q(n)). This gives a representation theoretic interpretation of a well-known combinatorial identity for Schur Q-functions. We further establish the…

Using Howe duality we compute explicitly Kostant-type homology groups for a wide class of representations of the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra $\hat{\frak{gl}}_{\infty|\infty}$ and its classical subalgebras at positive integral…

Two descriptions of the dual $-1$ Hahn algebra are presented and shown to be related under Howe duality. The dual pair involved is formed by the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(4)$ and the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$.

We give a new combinatorial interpretation of Howe dual pairs of the form $(\g,{\rm Sp}_{2\ell})$, where $\g$ is a Lie (super)algebra of classical type. This is done by establishing a symplectic analogue of the RSK algorithm associated to…

We construct a duality functor on the category of continuous representations of linearly compact Lie superalgebras, using representation theory of Lie conformal superalgebras. We compute the dual representations of the generalized Verma…

When the gauge groups of the two heterotic string theories are broken, over tori, to their "SO(16)x SO(16)" subgroups, the winding modes correspond to representations which are spinorial with respect to those subgroups. Globally, the two…

We classify all irreducible highest-weight unitary modules over the non-compact real form $\mathfrak{u}(p,q|n)$ of the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{p+q|n}$. The classification is given by explicit necessary and sufficient…

We study the symplectic Howe duality using two new and independent combinatorial methods: via determinantal formulae on the one hand, and via (bi)crystals on the other hand. The first approach allows us to establish a generalised version…

In this paper, we construct and study various dual pairs acting on the oscillator modules of the symplectic toroidal Lie algebras coordinated by irrational quantum tori. This extends the classical Howe dual pairs to the toroidal setup.

We study the Howe dualities involving the reductive dual pairs $(O(d),spo(2m|2n))$ and $(Sp(d),osp(2m|2n))$ on the (super)symmetric tensor of $\C^d\otimes\C^{m|n}$. We obtain complete decompositions of this space with respect to their…

The symmetric group S_n possesses a nontrivial central extension, whose irreducible representations, different from the irreducible representations of S_n itself, coincide with the irreducible representations of a certain algebra A_n.…

We provide formulas for the denominator and superdenominator of a basic classical type Lie superalgebra for any set of positive roots. We establish a connection between certain sets of positive roots and the theory of reductive dual pairs…

We give a $q$-analogue of Howe duality associated to a pair $(\mf{g},G)$, where $\mf{g}$ is an orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra and $G=O_\ell, Sp_{2\ell}$. We define explicitly {commuting actions} of a quantized enveloping algebra of…

We explain how Lie superalgebras of types gl and osp provide a natural framework generalizing the classical Schur and Howe dualities. This exposition includes a discussion of super duality, which connects the parabolic categories O between…

We establish a quantum analogue of the classical metaplectic Howe duality involving the pair of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ in the case when $n=1$. Our results yield commuting representations of the pair of…

The goal of our work is to study the decomposition of the joint action of $\mathscr{G} = \text{SpO}(2n|1)$ and $\mathfrak{g}' = \mathfrak{osp}(2|2)$ on the supersymmetric algebra $\text{S} = \text{S}(\mathbb{C}^{2n|1} \otimes…

The Askey-Wilson algebra and its relatives such as the Racah and Bannai-Ito algebras were initially introduced in connection with the eponym orthogonal polynomials. They have since proved ubiquitous. In particular they admit presentations…
