Odd singular vector formula for general linear Lie superalgebras

Abstract

We establish a closed formula for a singular vector of weight $\lambda-\beta$ in the Verma module of highest weight $\lambda$ for Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ when $\lambda$ is atypical with respect to an odd positive root $\beta$. It is further shown that this vector is unique up to a scalar multiple, and it descends to a singular vector, again unique up to a scalar multiple, in the corresponding Kac module when both $\lambda$ and $\lambda-\beta$ are dominant integral.
