Abstract:

A classical result of J. Bernstein, I. Gelfand and S. Gelfand says that a singular vector in a Verma module over a simple complex Lie algebra can be obtained from its highest vector by applying a product of special elements of the negative nilpotent subalgebra called Shapovalov elements. We provide explicit formulas for those elements, and hence for singular vectors of the Verma modules, expressing them through certain matrix elements of the inverse contravariant Shapovalov form.
