Abstract: We introduce the infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra mathcalA and construct a family of mappings from certain category of mathcalA-modules to the category of A_1^(1)-modules of critical level. Using this approach, we prove the irreducibility of a family of A_1^(1)-modules at the critical level. As a consequence, we present a new proof of irreducibility of certain Wakimoto modules. We also give a natural realizations of irreducible quotients of relaxed Verma modules and calculate characters of these representations.


The main objective of this article is to introduce an infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebra \(A\) related to the superconformal algebra for \(N=2\), and analyzing the vertex superalgebra \(V\) generated by it. It is proven that an irreducible representation \(U\) of the vertex algebra \( V\) satisfying a certain constraint is related to a family of irreducible representations of the affine Lie algebra \(A_1^{(1)}\). This class of modules contains in particular a wide class of Wakimoto modules, as well as any irreducible highest weight module of \(A_1^{(1)}\) at the critical level. In particular, the procedure allows a new proof of irreducibility of Wakimoto modules.
