Starting from a Hecke $R-$matrix, Jing and Zhang constructed a new deformation $U_{q}(sl_{2})$ of $U(sl_{2})$, and studied its finite dimensional representations in \cite{JZ}. Especically, this algebra is proved to be just a bialgebra, and all finite dimensional irreducible representations are constructed in \cite{JZ}. In addition, an example is given to show that not every finite dimensional representation of this algebra is completely reducible. In this note, we take a step further by constructing more irreducible representations for this algebra. We first construct points of the spectrum of the category of representations over this new deformation by using methods in noncommutative algebraic geometry. Then applied to the study of representations, our construction recovers all finite dimensional irreducible representations as constructed in \cite{JZ}, and yields new families of infinite dimensional irreducible weight representations of this new deformation $U_{q}(sl_{2})$.
We recover the holomorphic discrete series representations of $SU(1,n)$ as well as some unitary irreducible representations of $SU(n+1)$ by deformation of a minimal realization of $sl(n+1, {\mathbb C})$.
Given a real reductive group Lie group $G_\mathbb{R}$, the Mackey analogy is a bijection between the set of irreducible tempered representations of $G_\mathbb{R}$ and the set of irreducible unitary representations of its Cartan motion group. We show that this bijection arises naturally from families of twisted $\mathcal{D}$-modules over the flag variety of $G_\mathbb{R}$.
We prove that the irreducible components of the space of framed deformations of the trivial 2-dimensional mod 2 representation of the absolute Galois group of Q_2 are in natural bijection with those of the trivial character, confirming a conjecture of Böckle. We deduce from this result that crystalline points are Zariski dense in that space: this provides the missing ingredient for the surjectivity of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL_2(Q_p) in the case p=2 (the result was already known for p\geq 3).
In this paper, all irreducible weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra are determined. There are two different classes of them. One class is formed by simple modules of intermediate series, whose weight spaces are all 1-dimensional; the other class consists of the irreducible highest weight modules and lowest weight modules.
Let $d>1$ be an integer. In 1986, Shen defined a class of weight modules $F^α_b(V)$ over the Witt algebra $\mathcal{W}_d$ for $\a\in\C^d$, $b\in\C$, and an irreducible module $ V$ over the special linear Lie algebra $\sl_d$. In 1996, Eswara Rao determined the necessary and sufficient conditions for these modules to be irreducible when $V$ is finite dimensional. In this note, we will determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for all these modules $F^α_b(V)$ to be irreducible where $V$ is not necessarily finite dimensional. Therefore we obtain a lot of irreducible $\mathcal{W}_d$-modules…
This paper classifies irreducible, integrable highest weight modules for "current Kac-Moody Algebras" with finite dimensional weight spaces. We prove that these modules turn out to be modules of appropriate direct sums of finitely many copies of Kac-Moody Lie algebras.
For a twisted affine Lie superalgebra with nonzero odd part, we study {tight irreducible weight modules} with bounded weight multiplicities and show that if the action of nonzero real vectors of each affine component of the zero part is neither completely injective nor completely locally nilpotent, then these modules are parabolically induced.
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group in defining characteristic $p>0$, and let $V$ be an irreducible $G$-module which is the tensor product of exactly two non-trivial modules. We obtain a criterion for $V$ to have the zero weight. In addition, we provide a uniform criterion for an irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra over the complex numbers to have a multiple of a prescribed fundamental weight.
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 present a class of non-weight Virasoro modules $\mathcal{M}\big(V,Ω(λ_0,α_0)\big)\otimes\bigotimes_{i=1}^mΩ(λ_i,α_i)$ where $Ω(λ_i,α_i)$ and $\mathcal{M}\big(V,Ω(λ_0,α_0)\big)$ are irreducible Virasoro modules defined in \cite{LZ2} and \cite{LZ} respectively. The necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mathcal{M}\big(V,Ω(λ_0,α_0)\big)\otimes\bigotimes_{i=1}^mΩ(λ_i,α_i)$ to be irreducible are obtained. Then we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for two such irreducible Virasoro modules to be isomorphic. At last, we show that the irreducible modules in this cla…
We prove a character formula for the irreducible modules from the category $\mathcal{O}$ over the simple affine vertex algebra of type $A_n$ and $C_n$ $(n \geq 2)$ of level $k=-1$. We also give a conjectured character formula for types $D_4$, $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$ and levels $k=-1, \cdots, -b$, where $b=2,3,4,6$ respectively.
Let $G$ be a rank $n$ additive subgroup of $\bC$ and $\Vir[G]$ the corresponding Virasoro algebra of rank $n$. In the present paper, irreducible weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over $\Vir[G]$ are completely determined. There are two different classes of them. One class consists of simple modules of intermediate series whose weight spaces are all 1-dimensional. The other is constructed by using intermediate series modules over a Virasoro subalgebra of rank $n-1$. The classification of such modules over the classical Virasoro algebra was obtained by O. Mathieu in 1992 using …
We study the crystal graphs of irreducible $U_{v}(\hat{sl}}_{e})$-modules of higher level l. Generalizing works of the first author, we obtain a simple description of the bijections between the classes of multipartitions which naturally label these graphs: the Uglov multipartitions. This is achieved by expliciting an embedding of the $U_{v}(\hat{sl}}_{e})$-crystals of level l into $U_{v}(\hat{sl}_{\infty})$-crystals associated to highest weight modules.
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 a finite number of irreducible modules $M(λ, α, β, γ)$ with irreducible highest weight modules $V(η, ε, θ)$. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for such tensor product modules to be irreducible, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such two modules to be isomorphic. We also compare these modules with other known non-weight modules, showing that these irreducible modules are new.
In this article we initiate a systematic study of irreducible weight modules over direct limits of reductive Lie algebras, and in particular over the simple Lie algebras $A(\infty)$, $B(\infty)$, $C(\infty)$ and $D(\infty)$. Our main tool is the shadow method introduced recently in \cite{DMP}. The integrable irreducible modules are an important particular class and we give an explicit parametrization of the finite integrable modules which are analogues of finite-dimensional irreducible modules over reductive Lie algebras. We then introduce the more general class of pseudo highest weight module…
We show that the support of an irreducible weight module over the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, which has an infinite dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such a module are infinite dimensional. As a corollary, we obtain that every irreducible weight module over the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, having a nontrivial finite dimensional weight space, is a Harish-Chandra module (and hence is either an irreducible highest or lowest weight module or an irreducible module from the intermediate series
We study irreducible modules for Toroidal Lie-algebras with finite dimensional weight spaces. First note that Toroidal Lie-algebras have infinite dimensional center. In genaral the infinite dimensional center does not act as scalars on an irreducible module but acts as invertible central operators. We prove in this paper the study of irreducible modules for Toroidal Lie-algebras with finite dimensional weight spaces is reduced to the study of irreducible modules where the center acts as scalars.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ having rank $l$ and let $V=L(λ)$ be an irreducible finite-dimensional $\mathfrak{g}$-module having highest weight $λ.$ Computations of weight multiplicities in $V,$ usually based on Freudenthal's formula, are in general difficult to carry out in large ranks or for $λ$ with large coefficients (in terms of the fundamental weights). In this paper, we first show that in some situations, these coefficients can be "lowered" in order to simplify the calculations. We then investigate how this can be used to improve the aforementioned for…
We construct a family of irreducible representations of the quantum plane and of the quantum Weyl algebra over an arbitrary field, assuming the deformation parameter is not a root of unity. We determine when two representations in this family are isomorphic, and when they are weight representations, in the sense of Bavula.
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…
Toroidal Lie algebras are universal central extentions of the finite dimensional simple Lie algbera tensored with Laurent Polynomials in several commuteing variables. In this paper we classify irreducible integrable modules for Toroidal Lie algebras with finite dimensional wieght spaces. They are tensor product of evaluation modules for the finite dimensional Lie algebra when the center acts by zero. In the case when the center acts nontrivially they are tensor product of evalution representations of the underlying affine Lie algebra twisted by an automorphism of the Toroidal Lie algebras. The…
The behavior of the images of a fixed element of order p in irreducible representations of a classical algebraic group in odd characteristic p with highest weights large enough with respect to p and this element is investigated. Lower estimates for the number of Jordan blocks of size p in images of such elements that lie in naturally embedded subgroups of the same type as the initial group and smaller ranks are obtained.
We show that the support of an irreducible weight module over the $W$-algebra $W(2, 2)$, which has an infinite dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such a module are infinite dimensional. As a corollary, we obtain that every irreducible weight module over the the $W$-algebra $W(2, 2)$, having a nontrivial finite dimensional weight space, is a Harish-Chandra module (and hence is either an irreducible highest or lowest weight module or an irreducible module of the intermediate series).
We classify the irreducible integrable modules for the twisted toroidal extended affine Lie algebras with fnite diemnsional weight spaces where the fnite dimensional center acts trivially. We have proved that the entire central extension part acts trivially on the modules and our modules turn out to be highest weight modules.
It is shown that there are no simple mixed modules over the twisted N=1 Schrödinger-Neveu-Schwarz algebra, which implies that every irreducible weight module over it with a nontrivial finite-dimensional weight space, is a Harish-Chandra module.
Characteristic cycles and leading term cycles of irreducible highest weight Harish-Chandra modules of regular integral infinitesimal character are determined. In the simply laced cases they are irreducible, but in the nonsimply laced cases they are more complicated.
Perhaps the most important problem in representation theory in the 1970s and early 1980s was the determination of the multiplicity of composition factors in a Verma module. This problem was settled by the proof of the Kazhdan-Lusztig Conjecture which states that the multiplicities may be computed via Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. In this paper, we introduce signed Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, a variation of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which encodes signature information in addition to composition factor multiplicities and Jantzen filtration level. Careful consideration of Gabber and Joseph's pr…
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let Sp(2m) be the symplectic group of rank m over K. The main theorem of this article gives the character of the rational simple Sp(2m)-modules with fundamental highest weight as an explicit alternating sum of characters of Weyl modules. One obtains several formulae for the dimensions of these simple modules, what allows us to investigate the asymptotic behavior of these dimensions, for a given p, when the rank m is growing towards infinity. One also gets the simple Weyl modules with fundamental highest weight, and the article en…
In this paper we expand on previous results, studying the extent to which one can detect fusion in certain finite groups $Γ$, from information about the universal deformation rings of absolutely irreducible $\mathbb{F}_pΓ$-modules. We consider groups which are extensions of finite irreducible subgroups of $Gl_2({\mathbb{C}})$ by elementary abelian $p$-groups of rank $2$.
In the representation theory of simple Lie algebras, we consider the problem of constructing a "canonical" weight basis in an arbitrary irreducible finite-dimensional highest weight module. Vinberg suggested a method for constructing such bases by applying the lowering operators corresponding to all positive roots to the highest weight vector. He proposed several conjectures on the parametrization and structure of such bases. It is already known that these conjectures are true for the cases $A_n$, $C_n$, $G_2$, $B_3$. In this paper, we prove these conjectures for the Lie algebra of type $D_4$.
Let $\mathcal{B}_r$ be the $(r+1)$-dimensional quotient Lie algebra of the positive part of the Virasoro algebra $\mathcal{V}$. Irreducible $\mathcal{B}_r$-modules were used to construct irreducible Whittaker modules in [MZ2] and irreducible weight modules with infinite dimensional weight spaces over $\mathcal{V}$ in [LLZ].In the present paper, we construct non-weight Virasoro modules $F(M, Ω(λ,β))$ from irreducible $\mathcal{B}_r$-modules $M$ and $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{V})$-modules $Ω(λ,β)$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Virasoro module $F(M, Ω(λ,β))$ to be irreducible. …
In this paper, we study irreducible non-weight modules over the mirror Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $\mathcal{D}$, including Whittaker modules, $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} d_0)$-free modules, and their tensor products. More precisely, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Whittaker modules to be irreducible. We determine all $\mathcal{D}$-module structures on $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} d_0)$, and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for these modules to be irreducible. At last we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the tensor products of Whittaker modules an…
Let $λ$ be a dominant weight of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The convex hull of $Wλ$ is defined as the weight polytope of $λ$. We provide a new proof that there is a natural bijection between the set of orbits of the nonempty faces of the weight polytope under the action of the Weyl group and the set of the connected subdiagrams of the extended Dynkin diagram that contain the extended node $\{-λ\}$. We show that each face of the polytope can be transformed to a standard parabolic face. We also show that a standard parabolic face is the convex hull of the orbi…
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.
It is shown that the support of an irreducible weight module over the Schrödinger-Virasoro Lie algebra with an infinite-dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such a module are infinite-dimensional. As a side-product, it is obtained that every simple weight module over the Schrödinger-Virasoro Lie algebra with a nontrivial finite-dimensional weight space, is a Harish-Chandra module.
We demonstrate the main idea of constructing irreducible unitary representations of Lie groups by using Fedosov deformation quantization in the concrete case of the group Aff(R) of affine transformations of the real straight line. By an exact computation of the star-product and the operator $\hat{\ell}_Z$, we show that the resulting representations exhausted all the irreducible representations of this groups.
We shall derive Kazhdan-Lusztig type character formula for the irreducible modules with arbitrary non-critical highest weights over affine Lie algebras from the rational case by using the translation functor, the Enright functor and Jantzen's deformation argument.
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…
For each integer $t>0$ and each complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we determine the least dimension of an irreducible highest weight representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ whose highest weight has height $t$. As a corollary, we classify all irreducible modules whose dimension equals a product of two primes.
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.
By bivariate irreducible representations of ${\rm Sp}(2r)$, we mean irreducible representations with highest weights containing at most two nonzero entries, using the usual identification of dominant weights for complex symplectic Lie algebras and their corresponding Lie groups as $r$-tuples in decreasing non-negative integers. This paper has two aims. The first aim is to provide a formula for the weight mulitplicities of said representations, which is easily computable. The second aim is to present these weight multiplicities using elementary means. The formula for these weight multiplicities…
We construct every finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the simple Lie algebra of type $\mathsf{E}_{7}$ whose highest weight is a nonnegative integer multiple of the dominant minuscule weight associated with the type $\mathsf{E}_{7}$ root system. As a consequence, we obtain constructions of each finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the simple Lie algebra of type $\mathsf{E}_{6}$ whose highest weight is a nonnegative integer linear combination of the two dominant minuscule $\mathsf{E}$-weights. Our constructions are explicit in the sense that, if the representing space i…
We describe properties of the nonstandard q-deformation U'_q(so_n) of the universal enveloping algebra U(so_n) of the Lie algebra so_n which does not coincide with the Drinfeld--Jimbo quantum algebra U_q(so_n). In particular, it is shown that there exists an isomorphism from U'_q(so_n) to U_q(sl_n) and that finite dimensional irreducible representations of U'_q(so_n) separate elements of this algebra. Irreducible representations of the algebras U'_q(so_n) for q a root of unity q^p=1 are given. The main class of these representations act on p^N-dimensional linear space (where N is a number of p…
In this paper we study irreducible modules for loop of $A\rtimes DerA$ with finite dimensional weight spaces. In particular, we show that Larsson's constructed modules of tensor fields exhausted all irreducible modules.
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…
The quantum $α$-determinant is defined as a parametric deformation of the quantum determinant. We investigate the cyclic $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-submodules of the quantum matrix algebra $\mathcal{A}_q(\mathrm{Mat}_2)$ generated by the powers of the quantum $α$-determinant. For such a cyclic module, there exists a collection of polynomials which describe the irreducible decomposition of it in the following manner: (i) each polynomial corresponds to a certain irreducible $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-module, (ii) the cyclic module contains an irreducible submodule if the parameter is…
We prove that the weight multiplicities of the integrable irreducible highest weight module over the Kac-Moody algebra associated to a quiver are equal to the root multiplicities of the Kac-Moody algebra associated to some enlarged quiver. To do this, we use the Kac conjecture for indivisible roots and a relation between the Poincare polynomials of quiver varieties and the Kac polynomials, counting the number of absolutely irreducible representations of the quiver over finite fields. As a corollary of this relation, we get an explicit formula for the Poincare polynomials of quiver varieties, w…
The longstanding Alperin weight conjecture and its blockwise version have been reduced to simple groups recently by Navarro, Tiep, Spaeth and Koshitani. Thus, to prove this conjecture, it suffices to verify the corresponding inductive condition for all finite simple groups. The first is to establish an equivariant bijection between irreducible Brauer characters and weights for the universal covering groups of simple groups. Assume q is a power of some odd prime p. We first prove the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture for Sp2n(q) and odd non-defining characteristics. If the decomposition matri…
The two-parametric quantum superalgebra $U_{pq}[gl(2/2)]$ and its representations are considered. All finite-dimensional irreducible representations of this quantum superalgebra can be constructed and classified into typical and nontypical ones according to a proposition proved in the present paper. This proposition is a nontrivial deformation from the one for the classical superalgebra gl(2/2), unlike the case of one-parametric deformations.
In this paper we classify all simple weight modules for a quantum group $U_q$ at a complex root of unity $q$ when the Lie algebra is not of type $G_2$. By a weight module we mean a finitely generated $U_q$-module which has finite dimensional weight spaces and is a sum of those. Our approach follows the procedures used by S. Fernando and O. Mathieu to solve the corresponding problem for semisimple complex Lie algebras.
Let G be a locally analytic group. We use deformation theory and Emerton's 'augmented' Iwasawa modules to study the possible liftings of a given absolutely irreducible smooth modular representation of G to a unitary Banach space representation. Final version. Some minor items changed. Appears in Israel J. Math.
The nonstandard q-deformation $U'_q({\rm so}_n)$ of the universal enveloping algebra $U({\rm so}_n)$ has irreducible finite dimensional representations which are a q-deformation of the well-known irreducible finite dimensional representations of $U({\rm so}_n)$. But $U'_q({\rm so}_n)$ also has irreducible finite dimensional representations which have no classical analogue. The aim of this paper is to give these representations which are called nonclassical type representations. They are given by explicit formulas for operators of the representations corresponding to the generators of $U'_q({\r…
We classify the simple quantum group modules with finite dimensional weight spaces when the quantum parameter $q$ is transcendental and the Lie algebra is not of type $G_2$. This is part $2$ of the story. The first part being Irreducible quantum group modules with finite dimensional weight spaces. I (arXiv:1504.07042). In that paper the classification is reduced to the classification of torsion free simple modules. In this paper we follow the procedures used by O. Mathieu to reduce the classification to the classification of infinite dimensional admissible simple highest weight modules. We the…
A. Dzhumadil'daev classified all irreducible finite dimensional representations of the simple n-Lie algebra. Using a slightly different approach, we obtain in this paper a complete classification of all irreducible, highest weight modules, including the infinite-dimensional ones. As a corollary we find all primitive ideals of the universal enveloping algebra of this simple n-Lie algebra.
The loop-Virasoro algebra is the Lie algebra of the tensor product of the Virasoro algebra and the Laurent polynomial algebra. This paper classifies irreducible Harish-Chandra modules over the loop-Virasoro algebra, which turn out to be highest weight modules, lowest weight modules and evaluation modules of the intermediate series (all wight spaces are 1-dimensional). As a by-product, we obtain a classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules over truncated Virasoro algebras. We also determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for highest weigh irreducible modules over the loop-Vir…
