Abstract

We give a general theory for the construction of oscillator-like unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of non-compact supergroups in a super Fock space. This construction applies to all non-compact supergroups G whose coset space G/K with respect to their maximal compact subsupergroup K is "Hermitean supersymmetric". We illustrate our method with the example of SU(m, p/n+q) by giving its oscillator-like UIRs in a "particle state" basis as well as "supercoherent state basis". The same class of UIRs can also be realized over the "super Hilbert spaces" of holomorphic functions of a Z variable labelling the coherent states.
