In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups of Lie type in defining characteristic, the natural module is non-algebraic. For alternating and symmetric groups, we prove that the simple modules in $p$-blocks with defect groups of order $p^2$ are algebraic, for $p\leq 5$. Finally, we analyze nine sporadic groups, finding that all simple modules are algebraic for various primes and sporadic groups
While the finite-dimensional modules of the dihedral 2-groups over fields of characteristic 2 were classified over 30 years ago, very little is known about the tensor products of such modules. In this article, we compute the Loewy length of the tensor product of two modules of a dihedral two-group in characteristic 2. As an immediate consequence, we determine when such a tensor product has a projective direct summand.
By means of a certain module V and its tensor powers in a finite tensor category, we study a question of whether the depth of a Hopf subalgebra R of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H is finite. The module V is the counit representation induced from R to H, which is then a generalized permutation module, as well as a module coalgebra. We show that if in the subalgebra pair either Hopf algebra has finite representation type, or V is either semisimple with R* pointed, projective, or its tensor powers satisfy a Burnside ring formula over a finite set of Hopf subalgebras including R, then the dep…
If $K$ is a field of finite characteristic $p$, $G$ is a cyclic group of order $q=p^α$, $U$ and $W$ are indecomposable $KG$-modules with $\dim U=m$ and $\dim W=n$, and $λ(m,n,p)$ is a standard Jordan partition of $ m n$, we describe how to find a generator for each of the indecomposable components of the $KG$-module $U \otimes W$.
We study the decomposition of tensor products between a Steinberg module and a costandard module, both as a module for the algebraic group $G$ and when restricted to either a Frobenius kernel $G_r$ or a finite Chevalley group $G(\mathbb{F}_q)$. In all three cases, we give formulas reducing this to standard character data for $G$. Along the way, we define a bilinear form on the characters of finite dimensional $G$-modules and use this to give formulas for the dimension of homomorphism spaces between certain $G$-modules when restricted to either $G_r$ or $G(\mathbb{F}_q)$. Further, this form all…
We give an algorithm for working out the indecomposable direct summands in a Krull--Schmidt decomposition of a tensor product of two simple modules for G=SL_3 in characteristics 2 and 3. It is shown that there is a finite family of modules such that every such indecomposable summand is expressible as a twisted tensor product of members of that family. Along the way we obtain the submodule structure of various Weyl and tilting modules. Some of the tilting modules that turn up in characteristic 3 are not rigid; these seem to provide the first example of non-rigid tilting modules for algebraic gr…
The higher APR tilting modules and higher BB tilting modules were introduced and studied in higher Auslander-Reiten theory. Our objective is to consider these tilting modules by the corresponding simple modules, and show that the tensor product of higher APR (BB) tilting modules is a higher APR (BB) tilting module.
In this paper, we construct a class of non-weight modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra of type $A_1$ by taking tensor products of irreducibles defined in [Q. Chen, J. Han, Non-weight modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra of type $A_1$, J. Math. Phys. 60, 071707 (2019)] with irreducible highest weight modules. The irreducibility and the isomorphism classes of these modules are determined. Moreover, we show that these tensor product modules are different from the known non-weight modules. Finally, we realize some tensor product modules as induced modules from modules over certain subalgeb…
In this paper, we study irreducible weight modules with infinite dimensional weight spaces over the mirror-twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $\mathcal{D}$. More precisely, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the tensor products of irreducible highest weight modules and irreducible modules of intermediates series over $\mathcal{D}$ to be irreducible are determined by using "shifting technique". This leads to a family of new irreducible weight modules over $\mathcal{D}$. Then we obtain that any two such tensor products are isomorphic if and only if the corresponding highest weight modu…
In this paper, we obtain a class of Virasoro modules by taking tensor products of the irreducible Virasoro modules $Ω(λ,α,h)$ and $Ω(μ, b)$ with irreducible highest weight modules $V(θ,h)$ or with irreducible Virasoro modules Ind$_θ(N)$ defined in [MZ2]. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for such tensor product modules to be irreducible, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for two of them to be isomorphic. We also compare these modules with other known non-weight Virasoro modules.
In this paper, we obtain a class of Virasoro modules by taking tensor products of the irreducible Virasoro modules $Ω(λ,α,h)$ defined in \cite{CG}, with irreducible highest weight modules $V(θ,h)$ or with irreducible Virasoro modules Ind$_θ(N)$ defined in \cite{MZ2}. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for such tensor product modules to be irreducible, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for two of them to be isomorphic. These modules are not isomorphic to any other known irreducible Virasoro modules.
Let $G$ be a simple and simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $p>0$. We establish an isomorphism of $G$-modules between a direct sum of modules $\text{St} \otimes \text{St}$ and a direct sum of tensor products of simple modules of restricted highest weight with tilting modules that are projective over the Frobenius kernel of $G$. This isomorphism holds precisely when Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture does, and thus can be seen as providing a $G$-module theoretic characterization of this conjecture.
We study primitive ideals in the enveloping algebra of finitary locally finite infinite-dimensional complex Lie algebras. In particular we investigate the annihilators of the simple objects in the category of tensor modules. This category has been studied in \cite{PStyr} and \cite{PS}. Moreover we prove that a simple tensor module is completely determined by its annihilator and we introduce a partial order on pairs of Young diagrams that we use to describe the inclusions between the annihilators of the simple tensor modules.
In this paper, we study the tensor structure of category of finite dimensional representations of Drinfeld quantum doubles $D(H_n(q))$ of Taft Hopf algebras $H_n(q)$. Tensor product decomposition rules for all finite dimensional indecomposable modules are explicitly given.
For a finite free and projective EI category, we prove that Gorenstein-projective modules over its category algebra are closed under the tensor product if and only if each morphism in the given category is a monomorphism.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the exceptional complex simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$. We provide a concrete cyclicity condition for the tensor product of fundamental representations of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$. Using this condition, we show that every local Weyl module is isomorphic to an ordered tensor product of fundamental representations of $Y(\mathfrak{g})$.
In this paper, we realize polynomial $\H$-modules $Ω(λ,α,β)$ from irreducible twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro modules $\A_{α,β}$. It follows from $\H$-modules $Ω(λ,α,β)$ and $\mathrm{Ind}(M)$ that we obtain a class of natural non-weight tensor product modules $\big(\bigotimes_{i=1}^mΩ(λ_i,α_i,β_i)\big)\otimes \mathrm{Ind}(M)$. Then we give the necessary and sufficient conditions under which these modules are irreducible and isomorphic, and also give that the irreducible modules in this class are new.
In this paper, we investigate the tensor structure of the category of finite dimensional weight modules over the Hopf-Ore extensions $kG(χ^{-1}, a, 0)$ of group algebras $kG$. The tensor product decomposition rules for all indecomposable weight modules are explicitly given under the assumptions that $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and the orders of $χ$ and $χ(a)$ are the same.
We construct explicitly a large family of Gelfand-Tsetlin modules for an arbitrary finite W-algebra of type A and establish their irreducibility. A basis of these modules is formed by the Gelfand-Tsetlin tableaux whose entries satisfy certain admissible sets of relations. Characterization and an effective method of constructing such admissible relations are given. In the case of the Yangian of gl_n we prove the sufficient condition for the irreducibility of the tensor product of two highest weight relation modules and establish irreducibility of any number of highest weight relation modules wi…
With the aid of the exponentiation functor and Fourier transform we introduce a class of modules $T(g,V,S)$ of $\mathfrak{sl} (n+1)$ of mixed tensor type. By varying the polynomial $g$, the $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$-module $V$, and the set $S$, we obtain important classes of weight modules over the Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ of $\mathfrak{sl} (n+1)$, and modules that are free over $\mathfrak h$. Furthermore, these modules are obtained through explicit presentation of the elements of $\mathfrak{sl} (n+1)$ in terms of differential operators and lead to new tensor coherent families of $\mathfrak{sl…
Let $A$ be a coherent algebra and $B$ be a finite-dimensional Gorenstein algebra over a field $k$. We describe finitely presented Gorenstein projective $A\otimes_k B$-modules in terms of their underlying onesided modules. Moreover, if the global dimension of $B$ is finite, we give a more precise description of finitely presented Gorenstein projective $A\otimes_k B$-modules.
In this article, we consider the tensor product of two simple modules of quanum $GL_2$ over a field of characteristic $p\neq 0$. We show that it can be expressed as a direct sum of indecomposable twisted tilting modules. This problem has been studied by Henke and Doty [1] for $SL_2$ and also later on for $SL_3$ by S R Doty, Chris Bowman and Stuart Martin, ([7, 8]).
This paper explores further properties of modules related with Schubert polynomials, introduced by Kraśkiewicz and Pragacz. In this paper we show that any tensor product of Kraśkiewicz-Pragacz modules admits a filtration by Kraśkiewicz-Pragacz modules. This result can be seen as a module-theoretic counterpart of a classical result that the product of Schubert polynomials is a positive sum of Schubert polynomials.
For a quantum affine algebra of type A, we describe the composition series of the tensor product of a general minimal affinization with a Kirillov-Resehtikhin module associated to an extreme node of the Dynkin diagram of the underlying simple Lie algebra.
We decompose the $\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n)$-module $V(Λ_0) \otimes V(Λ_i)$ and give generating function identities for the outer multiplicities. In the process we discover some seemingly new partition identities for $n=3, 4$.
In this paper we study irreducible tensor products of representations of alternating groups in characteristics 2 and 3. In characteristic 3 we completely classify irreducible tensor products, while in characteristic 2 we completely classify irreducible tensor products where none of the modules appearing in the product is a basic spin module. In characteristic 2 we also give some necessary conditions for the tensor product of an irreducible module with a basic spin module to be irreducible.
We show that subsingular vectors exist in Verma modules over W(2,2), and present a subquotient structure of these modules. We prove conditions for irreducibility of a tensor product of intermediate series module with the highest weight module. Relations to intertwining operators over vertex operator algebra associated to W(2,2) is discussed. Also, we study a tensor product of intermediate series and highest weight module over the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, and present series of irreducible modules with infinite-dimensional weight spaces.
We provide a sufficient condition for the cyclicity of an ordered tensor product $L=V_{a_1}(ω_{b_1})\otimes V_{a_2}(ω_{b_2})\otimes...\otimes V_{a_k}(ω_{b_k})$ of fundamental representations of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$. When $\mathfrak{g}$ is a classical simple Lie algebra, we make the cyclicity condition concrete, which leads to an irreducibility criterion for the ordered tensor product $L$. In the case when $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{l+1}$, a sufficient and necessary condition for the irreducibility of the ordered tensor product $L$ is obtained. The cyclicity of the ordered tensor pro…
We study the classical limit of a tensor product of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules over a quantum loop algebra, and show that it is realized from the classical limits of the tensor factors using the notion of fusion products. In the process of the proof, we also give defining relations of the fusion product of the (graded) classical limits of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules.
We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the tensor product of modules over a Lie conformal algebra. We provide two algebraic constructions of the tensor product. We show the relation between tensor product and conformal linear maps. We prove commutativity of the tensor product.
In a previous paper we constructed rank and support variety theories for "quantum elementary abelian groups," that is, tensor products of copies of Taft algebras. In this paper we use both variety theories to classify the thick tensor ideals in the stable module category, and to prove a tensor product property for the support varieties.
Let $G$ be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. The category of rational $G$-modules is not semisimple. We consider the question of when the tensor product of two simple $G$-modules $L(λ)$ and $L(μ)$ is completely reducible. Using some technical results about weakly maximal vectors (i.e. maximal vectors for the action of the Frobenius kernel $G_1$ of $G$) in tensor products, we obtain a reduction to the case where the highest weights $λ$ and $μ$ are $p$-restricted. In this case, we also prove that $L(λ)\otimes L(μ)$ is comple…
Let g' and g be isomorphic to any two of the Lie algebras gl(infty), sl(infty), sp(infty), and so(infty). Let M be a simple tensor g-module. We introduce the notion of an embedding of g' into g of general tensor type and derive branching laws for triples g', g, and M, where the embedding of g' into g is of general tensor type. More precisely, since M is in general not semisimple as a g'-module, we determine the socle filtration of M over g'. Due to the description of embeddings of classical locally finite Lie algebras given by Dimitrov and Penkov, our results hold for all possible embeddings o…
In this paper, we study the tensor module $P\otimes M$ over the Witt superalgebra $W_{m,n}^+$ (resp. $W_{m,n}$), where $P$ is a simple module over the Weyl superalgebra $K_{m,n}^+$ (resp. $K_{m,n}$) and $M$ is simple weight module over the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m,n)$. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for $P\otimes M$ to be simple, and determine all simple subquotient of $P\otimes M$ when it is not simple. All the work leads to completion of some classification problems on the weight representation theory of $W_{m,n}^+$ and $W_{m,n}$.
We construct a cellular basis of the walled Brauer algebra which has similar properties as the Murphy basis of the group algebra of the symmetric group. In particular, the restriction of a cell module to a certain subalgebra can be easily described via this basis. Furthermore, the mixed tensor space possesses a filtration by cell modules -- although not by cell modules of the walled Brauer algebra itself, but by cell modules of its image in the algebra of endomorphisms of mixed tensor space.
The tensor product of highest weight modules with intermediate series modules over the Virasoro algebra was discussed by Zhang [Z] in 1997. Since then the irreducibility problem for the tensor products has been open. In this paper, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for these tensor products to be simple. From non-simple tensor products, we can get other interesting simple Virasoro modules. We also obtain that any two such tensor products are isomorphic if and only if the corresponding highest weight modules and intermediate series modules are isomorphic respectively. Our met…
Let G be a semisimple, simply connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. In a recent paper [4], Doty introduces the notion of r-minuscule weight and exhibits a tensor product factorization of a corresponding tilting module under the assumption p >= 2h-2, where h is the coxeter number. We remove this restriction and consider some variations involving the more general notion of (p,r)-minuscule weights.
This is the eighth part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. In this paper (Part VIII), we construct the braided tensor category structure, using the previously developed results.
We define integrable representations of quantum toroidal algebras of type A by tensor product, using the Drinfeld "coproduct". This allow us to recover the vector representations recently introduced by Feigin-Jimbo-Miwa-Mukhin [6] and constructed by the author [21] as a subfamily of extremal loop weight modules. In addition we get new extremal loop weight modules as subquotients of tensor powers of vector representations. As an application we obtain finite-dimensional representations of quantum toroidal algebras by specializing the quantum parameter at roots of unity.
We construct integral forms containing the conformal vector $ω$ in certain tensor powers of the Virasoro vertex operator algebra $L(\frac{1}{2},0)$, and we construct integral forms in certain modules for these algebras. When a triple of modules for a tensor power of $L(\frac{1}{2},0)$ have integral forms, we classify which intertwining operators among these modules respect the integral forms. As an application, we explore how these results might be used to obtain integral forms in framed vertex operator algebras.
We consider the category of Harish-Chandra modules for ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ as a module over the category of finite-dimensional representations of ${\rm SL}(2)$ with respect to the tensor product. In this note we use classical results about principal series to obtain a classification of $\otimes$-submodules of the category of Harish-Chandra modules of ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. The resulting classification recovers the classical classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules. Our methods are expected to generalize to arbitrary reductive pairs and more general base fields.
This is the first part of a series of two papers aiming to construct a categorification of the braiding on tensor products of Verma modules, and in particular of the Lawrence--Krammer--Bigelow representations. \\ In this part, we categorify all tensor products of Verma modules and integrable modules for quantum $\mathfrak{sl_2}$. The categorification is given by derived categories of dg versions of KLRW algebras which generalize both the tensor product algebras of Webster, and the dg-algebras used by Lacabanne, the second author and Vaz. We compute a basis for these dgKLRW algebras by using re…
