Irreducible representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebras \(D(2,1;\alpha)\). (English) Zbl 0604.17001
The shift operator technique is used to give a complete analysis of all finite- and infinite-dimensional irreducible representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebras \(D(2,1;\alpha)\). For all cases, the star or grade star conditions for the algebra are investigated. Among the finite- dimensional representations there are no star and only a few grade star representations, but an infinite class of infinite-dimensional star representations is found. Explicit expressions are given for the “doublet” representation of \(D(2,1;\alpha)\). The one missing label problem \(D(2,1;\alpha)\to\text{su}(2)+\text{su}(2)+\text{su}(2)\) is discussed in detail and solved explicitly.
