In this paper, we calculate a series of principally specialized characters of the ŝl(m|1)-modules of level 1. In particular, we show that the principally specialized characters of the basic modules L(Λ0) is expressed as an infinite product. In addition, we deduce the specialized character formula of “quasiparticle” type. 0. INTRODUCTION Character formulas of basic representation of ŝl(m|n) are ...
