Infinite-dimensional Lie (super)algebras (17B65) Lie algebras of Lie groups (22E60)

Abstract: In this paper we determine the projective unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups whose underlying Lie superalgebra is $frakg=Aotimesfrakk$, where $frakk$ is a compact simple Lie superalgebra and $A$ is a supercommutative associative (super)algebra; the crucial case is when $A=Lambd{a}_s(mathbbR)$ is a Grass{}mann algebra. Since we are interested in projective representations, the first step consists of determining the cocycles defining the corresponding central extensions. Our second main result asserts that, if $frakk$ is a simple compact Lie superalgebra with $frak{k}_{1}eq0$, then each (projective) unitary representation of $Lambd{a}_s(mathbbR)otimesfrakk$ factors through a (projective) unitary representation of $frakk$ itself, and these are known by Jakobsen's classification. If $frak{k}_1=0$, then we likewise reduce the classification problem to semidirect products of compact Lie groups $K$ with a Clifford--Lie supergroup which has been studied by Carmeli, Cassinelli, Toigo and Varadarajan.
