Abstract

A general construction is found for “topological” singular vectors (BRST-invariant singular vectors of the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra which are constructed over chiral primary states). The new construction, employed in parallel with the well-known MFF construction for the singular vectors of the sℓ(2) Kac-Moody algebra, implements an isomorphism of topological and sℓ(2)-singular vectors.
