      This paper deals with the study of the representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebra \(E(5, 10)\). Let \(L = \oplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}} L_j\) be a \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded Lie superalgebra, let \(L_-= \oplus_{j<0}L_j\), \(L_+ = \oplus_{j >0}L_j\) and \(L_{\ge 0} = L_0 \oplus L_+\). Let \(U(L)\) be the universal enveloping algebra of \(L\). If \(F\) is an irreducible \(L_0\)-module, one can define \(M(F ) = U (L)\otimes_{U(L_{\ge 0})} F\) where the action of \(L_0\) is extended to \(L_{\ge 0}\) by letting \(L_+\) act trivially on \(F\). The module \(M(F)\) is called a minimal generalized Verma module associated to \(F\). When \(M(F)\) is not irreducible it is said to be degenerate. Complete descriptions of the degenerate Verma modules for \(E(3, 6)\) and \(E(3, 8)\) have been given in the literature, as well as of their unique irreducible quotients. In a paper by \textit{V. G. Kac} and \textit{A. Rudakov} [Transform. Groups 7, No. 1, 67--86 (2002; Zbl 0997.17005)], some basic ideas and constructions are settled also for \(E(5,10)\). In this case Kac and Rudakov conjecture a complete list of \(L_0\)-modules which give rise to the degenerate Verma modules (Conjecture 4.6). As pointed out by the authors, in [``Morphisms of Verma modules over exceptional Lie superalgebra \(E(5, 10)\)'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1003.1369}] \textit{A. Rudakov} tackled the proof of the conjecture through the study of morphisms between Verma modules. The existence of a degenerate Verma module is indeed strictly related to the existence of such morphisms of positive degree. In another work by Rudakov, he classified morphisms of degree one and gave some examples of morphisms of degree at most 5. He also conjectured that there exists no morphism of higher degree and that his list exhausts all the examples. The authors give a combinatorial description of the restriction to \(\text{sl}_5\) of the Verma module induced by the trivial representation. Then they use this description to classify morphisms between Verma modules of degree one, two and three proving in these cases a conjecture given by Rudakov [loc. cit.]. A key tool is the notion of dual morphism between Verma modules.
