Models for irreducible representations of the symplectic algebra using Dirac-type operators

Abstract

In this paper we will study both the finite and infinite-dimensional representations of the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(2n)$ and develop a polynomial model for these representations. This means that we will associate a certain space of homogeneous polynomials in a matrix variable, intersected with the kernel of $\mathfrak{sp}(2n)$-invariant differential operators related to the symplectic Dirac operator with every irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{sp}(2n)$. We will show that the systems of symplectic Dirac operators can be seen as generators of parafermion algebras. As an application of these new models, we construct a symplectic analogue of the Rarita-Schwinger operator using the theory of transvector algebras.
