Embedding of the Lie superalgebra $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ into the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential symbols on $S^{1|2}$

Abstract

We obtain an embedding of a one-parameter family of exceptional simple Lie superalgebras $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ into the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential symbols on the supercircle $S^{1|2}$. Correspondingly, there is an embedding of $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ into a nontrivial central extension of the derived contact superconformal algebra $K'(4)$ realized in terms of $4\times 4$ matrices over a Weyl algebra.
