AbstractGiven a Lie superalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}$$ g with a subalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 , and a finite-dimensional irreducible $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 -module F, the induced $${\mathfrak {g}}$$ g -module $$M(F)={\mathcal {U}}({\mathfrak {g}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {U}}({\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0})}F$$ M ( F ) = U ( g ) ⊗ U ( g ≥ 0 ) F is called a finite Verma module. In the present paper we classify the non-irreducible finite Verma modules over the largest exceptional linearly compact Lie superalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}=E(5,10)$$ g = E ( 5 , 10 ) with the subalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 of minimal codimension. This is done via classification of all singular vectors in the modules M(F). Besides known singular vectors of degree 1,2,3,4 and 5, we discover two new singular vectors, of degrees 7 and 11. We show that the corresponding morphisms of finite Verma modules of degree 1,4,7, and 11 can be arranged in an infinite number of bilateral infinite complexes, which may be viewed as “exceptional” de Rham complexes for E(5, 10).

Abstract. The VIA Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues ( Peterson & Seligman, 2004 ) has been an influential contribution to the study of prosocial traits, and provided the basis for the VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). Inherent to the Classification is the assumption that the character strengths included in the model are cross-culturally relevant. The emergence of a latent trait model for the VIA Classification from exploratory factor analytic research and the availability of data from translated versions of the VIA-IS provides a basis for evaluating this assumption. A sample of 15,540 individuals from 16 nations who completed the VIA-IS online was used to evaluate measurement equivalence. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and a relatively new statistical procedure, alignment analysis, were used to evaluate configural, metric, and scalar invariance across translations of the instrument. Consistent support was found for configural and metric invariance, and scalar invariance was also demonstrated under a number of circumstances. The findings lend support to the cross-cultural relevance of the VIA Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues as well as to existing translations of the VIA-IS.

Grounded in positive psychology, this chapter focuses on constructs that increase well-being and may result in a flourishing emotional state. Within the PERMA framework, flourishing is reflected in positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Specifically, this chapter takes an in-depth look into the constructs of positive emotions, character, and purpose. Information on measurement tools, correlates, and possible interventions for each of the three constructs is provided. An emphasis is also placed on promising positive psychology interventions, many of which utilize strategies involving character strengths as defined in accordance with the Values in Action (VIA) Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues. The chapter concludes with information on how a reader can implement various positive psychology activities, as well as different school based-programs that incorporate purpose and positive psychology interventions.
