We classify the simple restricted modules for the minimal $p$-envelope of the non-graded, non-restricted Hamiltonian Lie algebra $H(2; (1,1); Φ(1))$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p \geq 5$. We also give the restrictions of these modules to a subalgebra isomorphic to the first Witt Algebra, a result stated in [S. Herpel and D. Stewart, \emph{Selecta Mathematica} 22:2 (2016) 765--799] with an incomplete proof.
In this paper we show that any irreducible finite dimensional representation of $SL_{n+1}$ remains indecomposable if restricted to n--dimensional abelian subalgebras spanned by simple root vectors.
Let g_A (respectively, g_A(μ)) be the graded multi-loop Lie algebra (respectively graded twisted multi-loop Lie algebra)" associated with the simple finite dimensional Lie algebra g over the complex field C. In this paper, we prove that irreducible integrable g_A(μ)-modules with finite dimensional weight spaces are either highest weight modules or their duals and classify the isomorphism classes of irreducible integrable g_A-modules and g_A(μ)-modules with finite dimensional weight spaces.
A depth one grading $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{g}^{-1}\oplus \mathfrak{g}^0 \oplus \mathfrak{g}^1 \oplus \cdots \oplus \mathfrak{g}^{\ell}$ of a finite dimensional Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is called nonlinear irreducible if the isotropy representation $\mathrm{ad}_{\mathfrak{g}^0}|_{\mathfrak{g}^{-1}}$ is irreducible and $\mathfrak{g}^1 \neq (0)$. An example is the full prolongation of an irreducible linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}^0 \subset \mathfrak{gl}(\mathfrak{g}^{-1})$ of finite type with non-trivial first prolongation. We prove that a complex Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ w…
Any graded restricted simple Lie algebra of Cartan type contains a subalgebra isomorphic to the Witt algebra over a field of prime characteristic. As some analogue of study on branching rules for restricted non-classical Lie algebras, it is shown that each graded restricted simple Lie algebra of Cartan type can be decomposed into a direct sum of restricted baby Verma modules and simple modules as an adjoint module over the Witt algebra. In particular, the composition factors are precisely determined.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of completely non-trivial module of a Lie conformal algebra. By this notion, we classify all finite irreducible modules of a class of $\mathbb{Z}^+$-graded Lie conformal algebras $\mathcal{L}=\bigoplus_{i=0}^{\infty} \mathbb{C}[\partial]L_i$ satisfying $ [{L_0}_λL_0]=(\partial+2λ)L_0,$ and $[{L_1}_λL_i]\neq 0$ for any $i\in \mathbb{Z}^+$. These Lie conformal algebras include Block type Lie conformal algebra $\mathcal{B}(p)$ and map Virasoro Lie conformal algebra $\mathcal{V}(\mathbb{C}[T])=Vir\otimes \mathbb{C}[T]$. As a result, we show that all non-trivi…
It is proved that an irreducible module over the non-graded Virasoro-like algebra, which satisfies a natural condition, is a GHW module or uniformly bounded. Furthermore, the classification of some uniformly bounded modules is given.
An important problem in the representation theory of affine and toroidal Lie algebras is to classify all possible irreducible integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces. Recently the irreducible integrable modules having finite dimensional weight spaces with non-trivial central action have been classified for a more general class of Lie algebras, namely the graded Lie tori. In this paper, we classify all the irreducible integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces for this graded Lie tori where the central elements act trivially. Thus we ultimately obtain all the simp…
In this article a complete description is given of the simple representations of a 3-dimensional Sklyanin algebra associated to a torsion point. In order to determine these irreducible representations, a review is given of classical results regarding representation theory of graded rings with excellent homological and algebraic properties.
We determine the graded decompositions of fusion products of finite-dimensional irreducible representations for simple Lie algebras of rank two. Moreover, we give generators and relations for these representations and obtain as a consequence that the Schur positivity conjecture holds in this case. The graded Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in the decomposition are parametrized by lattice points in convex polytopes and an explicit hyperplane description is given in the various types.
Let $\mathbb{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $ p>0. $ In this short note, we illustrate a class of Lie superalgebras over $ \mathbb{k} $ such that the category of restricted supermodules is of one block. As an application, if $ p>3 $ and $ \mathfrak{g} $ is a graded restricted Cartan type Lie superalgebra of type W, S and H, then the category of restricted $ \mathfrak{g} $ supermodules is of one block.
In this paper, we consider the classification of irreducible ${\bf Z}$- and ${\bf Z}^2$-graded modules with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces over the Virasoro-like algebra. We first prove that such a module is a uniformly bounded module or a generalized highest weight module. Then we determine all generalized highest weight irreducible modules. As a consequence, we also determine all the modules with nonzero center. Finally, we prove that there does not exist any nontrivial ${\bf Z}$-graded modules of intermediate series.
In this paper we show that the projective cover of the trivial irreducible module of a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra is induced from the one-dimensional trivial module of a maximal torus. As a consequence, we obtain that the number of the isomorphism classes of irreducible modules with a fixed p-character for a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra L is bounded above by p^MT(L), where MT(L) denotes the largest dimension of a torus in L. Finally, we prove that in characteristic p>3 the projective cover of the trivial irreducible L-module is only induced from th…
We introduce the notion of a generalized representation of a Jordan algebra with unit. The greneralized representation has the following properties: (1) Usual representations and Jacobson representations correspond to special cases of generalized representations. (2) Every simple Jordan algebra has infinitely many nonequivalent generalized representations. (3) There is a one-to-one correspondence between irreducible generalized representations of a Jordan algebra A and irreducible representations of a graded Lie algebra L(A)=U_{-1}\oplus U_0\oplus U_1 corresponding to A (the Lie algebra L(A) c…
We construct a resolution of irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ by restrictions of representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $S_n$ is the subgroup of permutation matrices). This categorifies a recent result of Assaf and Speyer. Our construction also gives minimal resolutions of simple $\mathcal{F}$-modules (here $\mathcal{F}$ is the category of finite sets).
In this paper, we first construct a Lie algebra $L$ from rank 3 quantum torus, and show that it is isomorphic to the core of EALAs of type $A_1$ with coordinates in rank 2 quantum torus. Then we construct two classes of irreducible ${\bf Z}$-graded highest weight representations, and give the necessary and sufficient conditions for these representations to be quasifinite. Next, we prove that they exhaust all the generalized highest weight irreducible ${\bf Z}$-graded quasifinite representations. As a consequence, we determine all the irreducible ${\bf Z}$-graded quasifinite representations wit…
We develop the theory of a category ${\mathscr C}_A$ which is a generalisation to non-restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules of a category famously studied by Andersen, Jantzen and Soergel for restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules, where ${\mathfrak g}$ is the Lie algebra of a reductive group $G$ over an algebraically closed field ${\mathbb K}$ of characteristic $p>0$. Its objects are certain graded bimodules. On the left, they are graded modules over an algebra $U_χ$ associated to ${\mathfrak g}$ and to $χ\in{\mathfrak g}^{*}$ in standard Levi form. On the right, they are modules over a commutative …
We prove that any irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for a class of Lie algebras, which we call gap-$p$ Virasoro algebras, must be a highest weight module, a lowest weight module, or a module of intermediate series.These algebras are closely related to the Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra and the algebra of derivations over a quantum torus. They also contain subalgebras which are isomorphic to the Virasoro algebra $Vir$, but graded by $p\mathbb Z$(unlike $Vir$ by $\mathbb Z$).
In this paper we will study the notion of a Frobenius $\star$-algebra and prove some orthogonality relations for the irreducible characters of a Frobenius $\star$-algebra. Then we will study $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$-graded Frobenius $\star$- algebras and prove some twisted orthogonality relations for them.
We introduce graded Hecke algebras H based on a (possibly disconnected) complex reductive group G and a cuspidal local system L on a unipotent orbit of a Levi subgroup M of G. These generalize the graded Hecke algebras defined and investigated by Lusztig for connected G. We develop the representation theory of the algebras H. obtaining complete and canonical parametrizations of the irreducible, the irreducible tempered and the discrete series representations. All the modules are constructed in terms of perverse sheaves and equivariant homology, relying on work of Lusztig. The parameters come d…
We state a conjecture which gives a combinatorial parametrization of the irreducible tempered representations with real central character of a graded Hecke algebra with unequal labels, associated to a root sytem of type B or C. This conjecture is based on a combinatorial generalization of the Springer correspondence in the classical (equal label) case. In particular, the described modules turn out to have a natural grading for the action of W_0, and are completely determined by their central character together with the W_0-representation in the top degree. This latter is an irreducible W_0-cha…
In the late 1980s, Premet conjectured that the nilpotent variety of any finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is irreducible. This conjecture remains open, but it is known to hold for a large class of simple restricted Lie algebras, e.g. for Lie algebras of connected reductive algebraic groups, and for Cartan series $W, S$ and $H$. In this paper, with the assumption that $p>3$, we confirm this conjecture for the minimal $p$-envelope $W(1;n)_p$ of the Zassenhaus algebra $W(1;n)$ for all $n\geq 2$.
Using combinatorics of Young tableaux, we give an explicit construction of irreducible graded modules over Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras $R$ and their cyclotomic quotients $R^λ$ of type $A_{n}$. Our construction is compatible with crystal structure. Let ${\mathbf B}(\infty)$ and ${\mathbf B}(λ)$ be the $U_q(\slm_{n+1})$-crystal consisting of marginally large tableaux and semistandard tableaux of shape $λ$, respectively. On the other hand, let ${\mathfrak B}(\infty)$ and ${\mathfrak B}(λ)$ be the $U_q(\slm_{n+1})$-crystals consisting of isomorphism classes of irreducible graded $R$-modules a…
In this short note, we study the rank of a restricted Lie algebra $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ and give some applications, which concerns the dimensions of non-trivial irreducible modules. We also compute the rank of the restricted contact algebra $K(n)$.
We define a family of graded restricted modules for the polynomial current algebra associated to a simple Lie algebra. We study the graded character of these modules and show that they are the same as the graded characters of certain Demazure modules. In particular, we see that the specialized characters are the same as those of the Kirillov Reshetikhin modules for quantum affine algebras.
We study the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the nullity 2 centreless core $\mathfrak{g}_{2n,ρ}(\mathbb{C}_q)$ by investigating the structure of the $\mathrm{BC}_n$-graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{2n,ρ}(R)$, where $R$ is a unital involutory associative algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic zero.
In this paper we investigate the relation between the multiplicities of split strongly abelian p-chief factors of finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebras and first degree restricted cohomology. As an application we obtain a characterization of solvable restricted Lie algebras in terms of the multiplicities of split strongly abelian p-chief factors. Moreover, we derive some results in the representation theory of restricted Lie algebras related to the principal block and the projective cover of the trivial irreducible module of a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra. In particular, we o…
We study the PBW filtration on the highest weight representations $V(\la)$ of $\msl_{n+1}$. This filtration is induced by the standard degree filtration on $U(\n^-)$. We give a description of the associated graded $S(\n^-)$-module $gr V(\la)$ in terms of generators and relations. We also construct a basis of $gr V(\la)$. As an application we derive a graded combinatorial character formula for $V(\la)$, and we obtain a new class of bases of the modules $V(\la)$ conjectured by Vinberg in 2005.
Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$. In recent work, the authors have studied a graded analogue of the category of rational $G$-modules. These gradings are not natural but are "forced" on related algebras though filtrations, often obtained from appropriate quantum structures. This paper presents new results on Koszul modules for the graded algebras obtained through this forced grading process. Most of these results require that the Lusztig character formula holds for all restricted $p$-regular weights, but the …
Let $Γ$ be a countable abelian semigroup and $A$ be a countable abelian group satisfying a certain finiteness condition. Suppose that a group $G$ acts on a $(Γ\times A)$-graded Lie superalgebra ${\frak L}=\bigoplus_{(α,a) \in Γ\times A} {\frak L}_{(α,a)}$ by Lie superalgebra automorphisms preserving the $(Γ\times A)$-gradation. In this paper, we show that the Euler-Poincaré principle yields the generalized denominator identity for ${\frak L}$ and derive a closed form formula for the supertraces $\text{str}(g|{\frak L}_{(α,a)})$ for all $g\in G$,$(α,a) \in Γ\times A$. We discuss the application…
Let i be a homomorphism of the multiplicative group into a connected reductive algebraic group over C. Let G^i be the centralizer of the image i. Let LG be the Lie algebra of G and let L_nG (n integer) be the summands in the direct sum decomposition of LG determined by i. Assume that n is not zero. For any G^i-orbit O in L_nG and any irreducible G^i-equivariant local system L on O we consider the restriction of some cohomology sheaf of the intersection cohomology complex of the closure of O with coefficients in L to another orbit O' contained in the closure of O. For any irreducible G^i-equiva…
In this paper, we review the construction of the Dirac operator for graded affine Hecke algebras and calculate the Dirac cohomology of irreducible unitary modules for the graded Hecke algebra of gl(n).
We introduce the notion of restricted dynamical quantum groups through their category of representations, which are monoidal categories with a forgetful functor to the category of $π$-graded vector spaces for a groupoid $π$.
The graded-fermion algebra and quasi-spin formalism are introduced and applied to obtain the $gl(m|n)\downarrow osp(m|n)$ branching rules for the "two-column" tensor irreducible representations of gl(m|n), for the case $m\leq n (n > 2)$. In the case m < n, all such irreducible representations of gl(m|n) are shown to be completely reducible as representations of osp(m|n). This is also shown to be true for the case m=n except for the "spin-singlet" representations which contain an indecomposable representation of osp(m|n) with composition length 3. These branching rules are given in fully explic…
The module category of any artin algebra is filtered by the powers of its radical, thus defining an associated graded category. As an extension of the degree of irreducible morphisms, this text introduces the degree of morphisms in the module category in terms of the induced natural transformations between representable functors on this graded category. When the ground ring is a perfect field, and the given morphism behaves nicely with respect to covering theory (as do irreducible morphisms with indecomposable domain or indecomposable codomain), it is shown that the degree of the morphism is f…
In this paper, we complete the classification of the {\bf Z}-graded modules of the intermediate series over the $q$-analog Virasoro-like algebra $L$. We first construct four classes of irreducible {\bf Z}-graded $L$-modules of the intermediate series. Then we prove that any {\bf Z}-graded $L$-modules of the intermediate series must be the direct sum of some trivial $L$-modules or one of the modules constructed by us.
We find an exact formula of Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions for the infinite-dimensional explicit irreducible sl(n, F)-modules that appeared in the Z^2-graded oscillator generalizations of the classical theorem on harmonic polynomials established by Luo and Xu. Three infinite subfamilies of these modules have the minimal Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. They contain weight modules with unbounded weight multiplicities and completely pointed modules.
In this paper, we study a class of $\Z_d$-graded modules, which are constructed using Larsson's functor from $\sl_d$-modules $V$, for the Lie algebras of divergence zero vector fields on tori and quantum tori. We determine the irreducibility of these modules for finite-dimensional or infinite-dimensional $V$ using a unified method. In particular, these modules provide new irreducible weight modules with infinite-dimensional weight spaces for the corresponding algebras.
We consider self-injective finite-dimensional graded algebras admitting a triangular decomposition. In a preceding paper, we have shown that the graded module category of such an algebra is a highest weight category and has tilting objects in the sense of Ringel. In this paper we focus on the degree zero part of the algebra, the core of the algebra. We show that the core captures essentially all relevant information about the graded representation theory. Using tilting theory, we show that the core is cellular. We then describe a canonical construction of a highest weight cover, in the sense o…
We prove that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over a field of characteristic $p > 2$ is a finitely-generated algebra. Our proof makes essential use of the explicit projective resolution of the trivial module constructed by J. Peter May for any graded restricted Lie algebra. We then prove that the cohomological finite generation problem for finite supergroup schemes over fields of odd characteristic reduces to the existence of certain conjectured universal extension classes for the general linear supergroup $GL(m|n)$ that are similar to the universal exte…
We study the representation theory of graded Hecke algebras, starting from scratch and focusing on representations that are obtained with induction from a discrete series representation of a parabolic subalgebra. We determine all intertwining operators between such parabolically induced representations, and use them to parametrize the irreducible representations.
In this paper, we compute the Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions for the infinite-dimensional explicit irreducible $\mathfrak{o}(n, \mathbb{C})$-modules and $\mathfrak{sp}(2n, \mathbb{C})$-modules that appeared in the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded oscillator generalizations of the classical theorem on harmonic polynomials established by Luo and Xu. We also found that some of the modules have the secondly minimal GK-dimension, and some of them have the larger GK-dimension than the maximal GK-dimension of unitary highest-weight modules.
We study the PBW filtration on irreducible finite--dimensional representations for the Lie algebra of type $\tt B_n$. We prove in several cases, including all multiples of the adjoint representation and all irreducible finite--dimensional representations for $\tt B_3$, that there exists a normal polytope such that the lattice points of this polytope parametrize a basis of the corresponding associated graded space. As a consequence we obtain several classes of favourable modules and graded combinatorial character formulas.
In this paper, we continue the study on toroidal vertex algebras initiated in \cite{LTW}, to study concrete toroidal vertex algebras associated to toroidal Lie algebra $L_{r}(\hat{\frak{g}})=\hat{\frak{g}}\otimes L_r$, where $\hat{\frak{g}}$ is an untwisted affine Lie algebra and $L_r=$\mathbb{C}[t_{1}^{\pm 1},\ldots,t_{r}^{\pm 1}]$. We first construct an $(r+1)$-toroidal vertex algebra $V(T,0)$ and show that the category of restricted $L_{r}(\hat{\frak{g}})$-modules is canonically isomorphic to that of $V(T,0)$-modules.Let $c$ denote the standard central element of $\hat{\frak{g}}$ and set $S…
Branching of symplectic groups is not multiplicity-free. We describe a new approach to resolving these multiplicities that is based on studying the associated branching algebra $B$. The algebra $B$ is a graded algebra whose components encode the multiplicities of irreducible representations of $Sp_{2n-2}$ in irreducible representations of $Sp_{2n}$. Our first theorem states that the map taking an element of $Sp_{2n}$ to its principal $n \times (n+1)$ submatrix induces an isomorphism of $\B$ to a different branching algebra $\B'$. The algebra $\B'$ encodes multiplicities of irreducible represen…
We study $\mathbb Z$-graded modules of nonzero level with arbitrary weight multiplicities over Heisenberg Lie algebras and the associated generalized loop modules over affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We construct new families of such irreducible modules over Heisenberg Lie algebras. Our main result establishes the irreducibility of the corresponding generalized loop modules providing an explicit construction of many new examples of irreducible modules for affine Lie algebras. In particular, to any function $ϕ:\mathbb N\rightarrow \{\pm\}$ we associate a $ϕ$-highest weight module over the Heisen…
Using a theorem proved by Bekka and Driutti, we show that if $\mathfrak{f}$ is a freely generated nilpotent Lie algebra of step-two, then almost every irreducible representation of the corresponding Lie group restricted to some lattice $Γ$ is an irreducible representation of $Γ$ if the dimension of the Lie algebra is odd. However, if the dimension of the Lie algebra is even, then almost every unitary irreducible representation of the Lie group restricted to $Γ$ is reducible.
Specializing properly the parameters contained in the maximal cyclic representation of the non-restricted A-type quantum algebra at roots of unity, we find the unique primitive vector in it. We show that the submodule generated by the primitive vector can be identified with an irreducble highest weight module of the finite dimensional A-type quantum algebra which is defined as the subalgebra of the restricted quantum algebra at roots of unity.
The paper concerns a certain subcategory of the category of representations for a semisimple algebraic group $G$ in characteristic $p$, which arise from the semisimple modules for the corresponding quantum group at a $p$-th root of unity. The subcategory, thus, records the cohomological difference between quantum groups and algebraic groups. We define translation functors in this category and use them to obtain information on the irreducible characters for $G$ when the Lusztig character formula does not hold.
We introduce and study the class of groups graded by root systems. We prove that if Φ is an irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2 and G is a group graded by Φ, then under certain natural conditions on the grading, the union of the root subgroups is a Kazhdan subset of G. As the main application of this theorem we prove that for any reduced irreducible classical root system Φ of rank at least 2 and a finitely generated commutative ring R with 1, the Steinberg group St_Φ(R) and the elementary Chevalley group E_Φ(R) have property (T). We also show that there exists a group with pro…
