A general construction is found for “topological” singular vectors of the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. It demonstrates many parallels with the known construction for affine sℓ(2) singular vectors due to Malikov–Feigin–Fuchs, but is formulated independently of the latter. The two constructions taken together provide an isomorphism between the topological and affine sℓ(2) singular vectors. The general formula for topological singular vectors can be reformulated as a chain of direct recursion relations that allow one to derive a given singular vector | S(r, s)〉 from the lower ones | S(r, s′<s)〉. We also introduce generalized Verma modules over the twisted N=2 algebra and show that they provide a natural setup for the new construction for topological singular vectors.

Similarly to the Virasoro algebra, the Neveu–Schwarz algebra has a discrete series of unitary irreducible highest weight representations. These are labeled by the values of [Formula: see text] (the central charge) and of the highest weight hpq = [(p (m + 2) − qm)2 − 4]/(8m (m + 2)) where m, p, q are some integers. The Verma modules constructed with these values (c, h) are not irreducible, however, as they contain two Verma submodules, each generated by a singular vector ψp,q (of weight hpq + pq/2) and ψm−p, m+2−q (of weight hpq + (m−p)(m+2−q)/2), respectively. We give an explicit expression for these singular vectors whenever one of its indices is 1.

We consider the branching problem for generalized Verma modules Mλ(𝔤, 𝔭) applied to couples of reductive Lie algebras [Formula: see text]. Our analysis of the problem is based on projecting character formulas to quantify the branching, and on the action of the center of [Formula: see text] to construct explicitly singular vectors realizing the [Formula: see text]-top level of the branching. We compute explicitly the top part of the branching for the pair [Formula: see text] for both strongly and weakly compatible with i( Lie G2) parabolic subalgebras and a large class of inducing representations.

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 Using a recently developed method of computing climatically relevant singular vectors (SVs), the error growth properties of ENSO in a fully coupled global climate model are investigated. In particular, the authors examine in detail how singular vectors are influenced by the phase of ENSO cycle—the physical variable under consideration as well as the error norm deployed. Previous work using SVs for studying ENSO predictability has been limited to intermediate or hybrid coupled models. The results show that the singular vectors share many of the properties already seen in simpler models. Thus, for example, the singular vector spectrum is dominated by one fastest growing member, regardless of the phase of ENSO cycle and the variable of perturbation or the error norm; in addition the growth rates of the singular vectors are very sensitive to the phase of the ENSO cycle, the variable of perturbation, and the error norm. This particular CGCM also displays some differences from simpler models; thus subsurface temperature optimal patterns are strongly sensitive to the phase of ENSO cycle, and at times an east–west dipole in the eastern tropical Pacific basin is seen. This optimal pattern also appears for SST when the error norm is defined using Niño-4. Simpler models consistently display a single-sign equatorial signature in the subsurface corresponding perhaps to the Wyrtki buildup of heat content before a warm event. Some deficiencies in the CGCM and their possible influences on SV growth are also discussed.
