The Method of Virtual Variables and Representations of Lie Superalgebras

  • Chapter
Clifford Algebras

Part of the book series: Progress in Mathematical Physics ((PMP,volume 34))

Abstract

We provide a brief account of Capelli’s method of virtual variables and of its relations with representations of general linear Lie superalgebras. More specifically, we study letterplace superalgebras regarded as bimodules under the action of superpolarization operators and exhibit complete decomposition theorems for these bimodules as well as for the operator algebras acting on them.
