It is well known that the irreducible representations of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ are symmetric powers of a vector space of dimension $n$. This can be viewed for instance using Young tableustableaux. I wonder if a similar result exists for the special linear supergroup $\mathfrak{sl}(n|m)$. I tried to look into the literature about it and did not find, and it seems that classical proof doesn't work (That is, the irreducible representations are symmetric powers of a super vector space of dimension $n|m$). It would be quite interesting if there could be other examples of representations besides the classical ones.

Does anyone hashave any insight?

Thank you.
