Abstract
A model of the Bannai–Ito algebra in a superspace is introduced. It is obtained from the threefold tensor product of the basic realization of the Lie superalgebra \(\mathfrak {osp}(1|2)\) in terms of operators in one continuous and one Grassmanian variable. The basis vectors of the resulting Bannai–Ito algebra module involve Jacobi polynomials.
