Abstract

A recent novel derivation of the representation of Virasoro singular vectors in terms of Jack polynomials is extended to the supersymmetric case. The resulting expression of a generic super-Virasoro singular vector is given in terms of a simple differential operator (whose form is characteristic of the sector, Neveu–Schwarz or Ramond) acting on a Jack superpolynomial. The latter is indexed by a superpartition depending upon the two integers r,s that specify the reducible module under consideration. The corresponding singular vector (at grade rs/2), when expanded as a linear combination of Jack superpolynomials, results in an expression that (in addition to being proved) turns out to be more ..
