Representations of the super-Yangian of type B(n,m).

We are concerned with finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangians associated with the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras osp 2 n + 1 | 2 m. Every such representation is highest weight and we use embedding theorems and odd reflections of Yangian type to derive necessary conditions for an irreducible highest weight representation to be finite-dimensional. We conjecture that these conditions are also sufficient. We prove the conjecture in the case n = 1 and arbitrary m ⩾ 1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
