Abstract

Some physically realizable positive discrete series representations of the noncompact orthosymplectic superalgebra Osp(4/2,R) are considered. The decomposition of these Osp(4/2,R) representations on reduction to Sp(2,R)XSO(4) is studied in detail, and the corresponding state vectors are explicitly constructed by acting with the generators on a general lowest weight state. Some examples are given to illustrate these results for particular single-particle spaces.
