We construct a basis of each covariant representation and give explicit formulas for the action of the generators of gl(m|n) in this basis. The basis has the property that the natural Lie subalgebras gl(m) and gl(n) act by the classical Gelfand-Tsetlin formulas. The main role in the construction is played by the fact that the subspace of gl(m)-highest vectors in any finite-dimensional irreducible representation of gl(m|n) carries a structure of an irreducible module over the Yangian Y(gl(n)). One consequence is a new proof of the character formula for the covariant representations first found by Berele and Regev and by Sergeev.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-09T07:29:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lie superalgebra", "combinatorial bases", "natural lie subalgebras gl", "covariant representations first", "covariant tensor representations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 871944, "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.0463M" } } }
