Symplectic Dirac operators for Lie algebras and graded Hecke algebras

Abstract

We define a pair of symplectic Dirac operators $(D^+,D^-)$ in an algebraic setting motivated by the analogy with the algebraic orthogonal Dirac operators in representation theory. We work in the settings of $\mathbb Z/2$-graded quadratic Lie algebras $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak k+\mathfrak p$ and of graded affine Hecke algebras $\mathbb H$.
