Difference formula for tensor-power multiplicities of covariant representations of sl(m∣n)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)

About 1 year old · traced to

Let sl(m∣n)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n) be the type AA Lie superalgebra, let V(2s)V_{(2s)} be its covariant representation, and write

V(2s)⊗L=⨁λμλVλ,V_{(2s)}^{\otimes L}=\bigoplus_{\lambda}\mu_{\lambda}V_{\lambda},

where λ\lambda ranges over (m,n)(m,n)-hook Young diagrams. Decompose λ\lambda into its first mm rows and the remaining diagram λ~\tilde{\lambda}, and let M⃗=(M0,…,Mm+n)\vec M=(M_0,\ldots,M_{m+n}) satisfy M0=2sLM_0=2sL, Mm+n=0M_{m+n}=0,

λi=Mi−1−Mi,λ~ℓ′=Mℓ+m−1−Mℓ+m.\lambda_i=M_{i-1}-M_i,\qquad \tilde{\lambda}^{\prime}_{\ell}=M_{\ell+m-1}-M_{\ell+m}.

Here λ~′\tilde{\lambda}^{\prime} is the conjugate Young diagram of λ~\tilde{\lambda}, with i=1,…,mi=1,\ldots,m and ℓ=1,…,n\ell=1,\ldots,n. The tensor-power difference formula. Under this correspondence,

μλ=DRsl(m∣n)(t)cs,L(M⃗),\mu_{\lambda}=\mathcal{D}_{R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t)}c_{s,L}(\vec M),

where DRsl(m∣n)(t)\mathcal{D}_{R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t)} is the shifted operator associated with Rsl(m∣n)(t)R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t). This conjectures a superalgebraic analogue of the difference formula relating weight-space coefficients to tensor-product multiplicities; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
