Representations of the super-Yangian of type $D(n,m)$

Abstract

We consider the classification problem for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangians associated with the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras ${\frak{osp}}_{2n|2m}$ with $n\geqslant 2$. We give necessary conditions for an irreducible highest weight representation to be finite-dimensional. We conjecture that these conditions are also sufficient and prove the conjecture for a class of representations with linear highest weights. The arguments are based on a new type of odd reflections for the Yangian associated with ${\frak{osp}}_{2|2}$. In the Appendix, we construct an isomorphism between the Yangians associated with the Lie superalgebras ${\frak{osp}}_{2|2}$ and ${\frak{gl}}_{1|2}$.
