Classification of irreducible super-unitary representations of \({\mathfrak su}(p,q/n)\) (Q1180364)

The only real forms of the Lie superalgebras \(sl(m/n;\mathbb{C})\) which admit non-trivial super-unitary representations are the forms \(su(p,q/n)\) with \(p+q=m\) or \(su(m/r,s)\) with \(r+s=n\). In this paper all irreducible superunitary representations of \(su(p,q/n)\) are classified, which can be integrated up to a unitary representation of the Lie group corresponding to the even part of \(su(p,q/n)\). In their analysis, the authors use an embedding of these irreducible super-unitary representations in the oscillator representation of an orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra \(osp(2mN/2nN;\mathbb{R})\), thereby obtaining an explicit realisation of such representations.
