Capelli operators for spherical superharmonics and the Dougall-Ramanujan identity (Q2095454)

Let \((V,\omega)\) be an orthosymplectic \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-graded vector space with a nondegenerate even supersymmetric bilinear form \(\omega:V\times V\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\) and let \(\mathfrak{g}:=\mathfrak{gosp}(V,\omega)=\mathfrak{osp}(V,\omega)\oplus \mathbb{C}z\), where \(z\) is a central element of \(\mathfrak{g}\). As a \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module, the space \(\mathscr{P}(V)\) of superpolynomials on \(V\) is completely reducible, unless \(\dim V_{\overline{0}}=2k\) and \(\dim V_{\overline{1}}=2\ell\), where \(0<k\leq \ell\). When \(\mathscr{P}(V)\) is not a completely reducible \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module, S. Sahi, H. Salmasian, and V. Serganova construct a natural basis \(\{D_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in\mathcal{I}}\) of ``Capelli operators'' for the algebra \(\mathscr{PD}(V)^{\mathfrak{g}}\) of \(\mathfrak{g}\)-invariant superpolynomial superdifferential operators on \(V\), where the index set \(\mathcal{I}\) is the set of integer partitions of length at most two. Computing the action of the operators \(\{D_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\mathcal{I}}^{}\) on maximal indecomposable components of \(\mathscr{P}(V)\) explicitly, in terms of Knop-Sahi interpolation polynomials, the authors show that the eigenvalues of a subfamily of the \(D_{\lambda}\) are not given by specializing the Knop-Sahi polynomials; they instead involve suitably regularized forms of these polynomials. They also demonstrate a close relationship between their eigenvalue formulas for this subfamily of Capelli operators and the Dougall-Ramanujan hypergeometric identity. Sahi, Salmasian, and Serganova also connect the eigenvalues of Capelli operators to the Deligne category \(\mathsf{Rep}(O_t)\), defining categorical Capelli operators \(\{\mathbf{D}_{t,\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\mathcal{I}}^{}\) that induce morphisms of indecomposable components of symmetric powers of \(\mathsf{V}_t\), where \(\mathsf{V}_t\) is the generating object of \(\mathsf{Rep}(O_t)\). They obtain formulas for the eigenvalue polynomials associated to \(\left\{\mathbf{D}_{t,\lambda}\right\}_{\lambda\in\mathcal{I}}\) that are analogous to their results for the operators \(\{D_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\mathcal{I}}\).
