The quantized version of a discrete Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system is solved by an extension of the generalized Bethe Ansatz. The solutions are constructed to be of highest weight which means they fully reflect the internal quantum group symmetry.
This is the third of a series of articles devoted to the study of relaxed highest weight modules over vertex operator algebras. Relaxed highest weight modules over affine vertex algebras associated to higher rank Lie algebras $A_\ell$ are extensively studied. In particular, the string functions of simple relaxed highest weight modules whose top spaces are simple cuspidal $A_\ell$-modules are shown to be the quotients by a power of the Dedekind eta series of the $q$-characters of simple ordinary modules over affine W-algebras associated with the minimal nilpotent elements of $A_\ell$.
The characters of the unitarizable highest weight modules over the N=2 superconformal algebras are presented. This is a slightly extended version of an Encyclopedia entry.
The Bershadsky-Polyakov algebras are the minimal quantum hamiltonian reductions of the affine vertex algebras associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ and their simple quotients have a long history of applications in conformal field theory and string theory. Their representation theories are therefore quite interesting. Here, we classify the simple relaxed highest-weight modules, with finite-dimensional weight spaces, for all admissible but nonintegral levels, significantly generalising the known highest-weight classifications [arxiv:1005.0185, arxiv:1910.13781]. In particular, we prove that the simple…
Relaxed highest-weight modules play a central role in the study of many important vertex operator (super)algebras and their associated (logarithmic) conformal field theories, including the admissible-level affine models. Indeed, their structure and their (super)characters together form the crucial input data for the standard module formalism that describes the modular transformations and Grothendieck fusion rules of such theories. In this article, character formulae are proved for relaxed highest-weight modules over the simple admissible-level affine vertex operator superalgebras associated to…
In this paper we construct Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand type resolution of simple highest weight modules over the simple $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator superalgebra of central charge $c_{p,p'}=3\left(1-\frac{2p'}{p}\right)$ by means of the Kazama--Suzuki coset construction. As an application, we compute the twisted Zhu algebras of the simple $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator superalgebra. We also compute the Frenkel--Zhu bimodule structure associated with a certain simple highest weight module of central charge $c_{3,2}=-1$.
This is the second of a series of articles devoted to the study of relaxed highest-weight modules over affine vertex algebras and W-algebras. The first studied the simple "rank-$1$" affine vertex superalgebras $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and $L_k(\mathfrak{osp}(1\vert2))$, with the main results including the first complete proofs of certain conjectured character formulae (as well as some entirely new ones). Here, we turn to the question of classifying relaxed highest-weight modules for simple affine vertex algebras of arbitrary rank. The key point is that this can be reduced to the classification o…
The purpose of this note is to define and construct highest weight modules for Felder's elliptic quantum groups. This is done by using exchange matrices for intertwining operators between (not necessarily finite-dimensional) modules over quantum affine algebras.
We show that the Weyl-Kac type character formula holds for the integrable highest weight modules over the quantized enveloping algebra of any symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra, when the parameter $q$ is not a root of unity.
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.
Two classes of irreducible highest weight modules of the general linear Lie superalgebra $gl(1/\infty)$ are constructed. Within each module a basis is introduced and the transformation relations of the basis under the action of the algebra generators are written down.
We completely determine the minimal polynomial of an arbitrary simple highest weight module $L(λ)$ over a complex classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}\subseteq\mathfrak{gl}_N$ relative to its defining module $π=\mathbb{C}^{N}$. These results are applied to ordering on primitive ideals and algebraic properties of Howe duality correspondence.
In [19], Zheng studied the bounded derived categories of constructible $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_l$-sheaves on some algebraic stacks consisting of the representations of a enlarged quiver and categorified the integrable highest weight modules of the corresponding quantum group by using these categories. In this paper, we shall generalize Zheng's work to highest weight modules of a subalgebra of the double Ringel-Hall algebra associated to a quiver in a functional version.
We give a general way of representing the crystal (base) corresponding to the intgrable highest weight modules of quantum Kac-Moody algebras, which is called polyhedral realizations. This is applied to describe explicitly the crystal bases of integrable highest weight modules for arbitrary rank 2 Kac-Moody algebra cases, the classical A_n-case and the affine A^{(1)}_{n-1}-case.
We classify positive energy representations with finite degeneracies of the Lie algebra $W_{1+\infty}\/$ and construct them in terms of representation theory of the Lie algebra $\hatgl ( \infty R_m )\/$ of infinite matrices with finite number of non-zero diagonals over the algebra $R_m = \C [ t ] / ( t^{m + 1} )\/$. The unitary ones are classified as well. Similar results are obtained for the sin-algebras.
A class of highest weight irreducible representations of the quantum algebra U_h(gl_\infty) is constructed. Within each module a basis is introduced and the transformation relations of the basis under the action of the Chevalley generators are explicitly written.
In this paper, we prove Khovanov-Lauda's cyclotomic categorification conjecture for all symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. Let $U_q(g)$ be the quantum group associated with a symmetrizable Cartan datum and let $V(Λ)$ be the irreducible highest weight $U_q(g)$-module with a dominant integral highest weight $Λ$. We prove that the cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebra $R^Λ$ gives a categorification of $V(Λ)$.
We decompose the level-1 irreducible highest weight modules of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_n)$ with respect to the level-0 $U'_q (\hat{sl}_n)$--action defined in q-alg/9702024. The decomposition is parameterized by the skew Young diagrams of the border strip type.
We study the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of $U_q[\hat{gl(1|1)}]$ and associated q-vertex operators. We obtain the exchange relations satisfied by the vertex operators. The characters and supercharacters associated with these irreducible representations are calculated.
We generalize the results of [KMST] concerning equivariant quantization by means of Verma modules $M(λ)$ for generic weight $λ$ to the case of general $λ$. We consider the relationship between the Shapovalov form on an irreducible highest weight module of a semisimple complex Lie algebra, fusion elements, and equivariant quantization. We also discuss some limiting properties of fusion elements. [KMST] E. Karolinsky and A. Stolin, Dynamical Yang-Baxter equations, quasi-Poisson homogeneous spaces, and quantization, Lett. Math. Phys., 71 (2005), p.179-197; e-print math.QA/0309203.
We study the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q[\hat{sl(N|1)}]$, and calculate their characters and supercharacters. We obtain bosonized q-vertex operators acting on the irreducible $U_q[\hat{sl(N|1)}]$-modules and derive the exchange relations satisfied by the vertex operators. We give the bosonization of the multi-component super $t-J$ model by using the bosonized vertex operators.
In this paper, we investigate the structure of highest weight modules over the quantum queer superalgebra $U_q(q(n))$. The key ingredients are the triangular decomposition of $U_q(q(n))$ and the classification of finite dimensional irreducible modules over quantum Clifford superalgebras. The main results we prove are the classical limit theorem and the complete reducibility theorem for $U_q(q(n))$-modules in the category $O_q^{\geq 0}$.
In the first part of the paper we give the denominator identity for all simple finite-dimensional Lie super algebras $\frak g\/$ with a non-degenerate invariant bilinear form. We give also a character and (super) dimension formulas for all finite-dimensional irreducible $\frak g\/$-modules of atypicality $\leq 1\/$ . In the second part of the paper we give the denominator identity for the affine superalgebras $\hat{\frak g}\/$ associated to $\frak g\/$. Specializations of this identity give almost all old and many new formulas for the number of representations of an integer as sums of squares …
Using certain results for the vertex operator algebras associated with affine Lie algebras we obtain recurrence relations for the characters of integrable highest weight irreducible modules for an affine Lie algebra. As an application we show that in the simply-laced level 1 case, these recurrence relations give the known characters, whose principal specializations naturally give rise to some multisum Macdonald identities.
A representation of the Quantum Toroidal Algebra of type sl(N) is constructed on every irreducible integrable highest weight module of the Quantum Affine Algebra of type gl(N). As an intermediate step in the construction, we obtain a quantum analogue of the classical level-rank duality, describing the reciprocal decomposition of the q-Fock space with respect to mutually commutative actions of U_q(gl(N)^) of level L, and U_q(sl(L)^) of level N.
We determine the exchange relations of the level-one q-vertex operators of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q[\hat{gl(N|N)}]$. We study in details the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of $U_q[\hat{gl(2|2)}]$, and compute the characters and supercharacters associated with these irreducible modules.
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.
The general formula for R-matrices of slq(2,C) for the highest weight repre- sentations both for general q and for q being a root of unity by generalizing G.Gomez's and G.Sierra's one for semiperiodic representations of slq(2,C) at roots of unity is presented.
We study the highest weight and continuous tensor product representations of q-deformed Lie algebras through the mappings of a manifold into a locally compact group. As an example the highest weight representation of the q-deformed algebra $sl_q(2,\Cb)$ is calculated in detail.
We define a filtration indexed by the integers on the tensor product of an integrable highest weight module and a loop module for a quantum affine algebra. We prove that the filtration is either trivial or strictly decreasing and give sufficient conditions for this to happen. In the first case we prove that the module is irreducible and in the second case we prove that the intersection of all the modules is zero, thus allowing us to define the completed tensor product. In certain special cases, we identify the subsequent quotients of filtration. These are certain highest weight integrable modu…
We give a criterion for complete reducibility of tensor product $V\otimes Z$ of two irreducible highest weight modules $V$ and $Z$ over a classical or quantum semi-simple group in terms of a contravariant symmetric bilinear form on $V\otimes Z$. This form is the product of the canonical contravariant forms on $V$ and $Z$. Then $V\otimes Z$ is completely reducible if and only if the form is non-degenerate when restricted to the sum of all highest weight submodules in $V\otimes Z$ or equivalently to the span of singular vectors.
We present a geometric construction of highest weight crystals for quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebras. It is given in terms of the irreducible components of certain Lagrangian subvarieties of Nakajima's quiver varieties associated to quivers with edge loops.
In the present paper, using the technique of localization, we determine the center of the quantum Schrödinger algebra $§_q$ and classify simple modules with finite-dimensional weight spaces over $§_q$, when $q$ is not a root of unity. It turns out that there are four classes of such modules: dense $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-modules, highest weight modules, lowest weight modules, and twisted modules of highest weight modules.
In arXiv:1001.2562 a certain non-commutative algebra $A$ was defined starting from a semi-simple algebraic group, so that the derived category of $A$-modules is equivalent to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the Springer (or Grothendieck-Springer) resolution. Let $\hat{\g}$ be the affine Lie algebra corresponding to the Langlands dual Lie algebra. Using results of Frenkel and Gaitsgory arXiv:0712.0788 we show that the category of $\hat{\g}$ modules at the critical level which are Iwahori integrable and have a fixed central character, is equivalent to the category of modules over a q…
In [8], the affine vertex algebra $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is realized as a subalgebra of the vertex algebra $Vir_c \otimes Π(0)$, where $Vir_c$ is a simple Virasoro vertex algebra and $Π(0)$ is a half-lattice vertex algebra. Moreover, all $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$--modules (including, modules in the category $KL_k$, relaxed highest weight modules and logarithmic modules) are realized as $Vir_c \otimes Π(0)$--modules. A natural question is the generalization of this construction in higher rank. In the current paper, we study the case $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{sl}_3$ and present realization of the VO…
The present paper establishes a connection between the Lie algebra W_{1+infty} and the bispectral problem. We show that the manifolds of bispectral operators obtained by Darboux transformations on powers of Bessel operators are in one to one correspondence with the manifolds of tau-functions lying in the W_{1+infty}-modules M_beta introduced in our previous paper hep-th/9510211. An immediate corollary is that they are preserved by hierarchies of symmetries generated by subalgebras of W_{1+infty}. This paper is the last of a series of papers (hep-th/9510211, q-alg/9602010, q-alg/9602011) on the…
We re-examine the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(\hat{sl}(2|1))$ and derive the characters and supercharacters associated with these representations. We calculate the exchange relations of the vertex operators and find that these vertex operators satisfy the graded Faddeev-Zamolodchikov algebra. We give an integral expression of the correlation functions of the q-deformed supersymmetric t-J model and derive the difference equations which they satisfy.
We define analogues of Verma modules for finite W-algebras. By the usual ideas of highest weight theory, this is a first step towards the classification of finite dimensional irreducible modules. Motivated by known results in type A, we then formulate some precise conjectures in the case of nilpotent orbits of standard Levi type.
We consider a special category of Hopf algebras, depending on parameters $Σ$ which possess properties similar to the category of representations of simple Lie group with highest weight $λ$. We connect quantum groups to minimal objects in this categories---they correspond to irreducible representations in the category of representations with highest weight $λ$. Moreover, we want to correspond quantum groups only to finite dimensional irreducible representations. This gives us a condition for $λ$: $λ$--- is dominant means the minimal object in the category of representations with highest weight …
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra with highest root $θ$ and let $\mathfrak{g}[t]$ be the corresponding current algebra. In this paper, we consider the $\mathfrak{g}[t]$-stable Demazure modules associated to integrable highest weight representations of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$. We prove that the fusion product of Demazure modules of a given level with a single Demazure module of a different level and with highest weight a multiple of $θ$ is a generalized Demazure module, and also give defining relations. This also shows that the fusion …
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.
Highest weight modules of the double affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}}_{2}$ are studied under a new triangular decomposition. Singular vectors of Verma modules are determined using a similar condition with horizontal affine Lie subalgebras, and highest weight modules are described under the condition that $c_1>0$ and $c_2=0$.
The Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type A acts on tensor product space of the natural representation of the quantum superalgebra U_q(gl(m,n)). We show this action of the Hecke algebra and the action of U_q(gl(m,n)) on the same space determine commuting actions of each other. Together with this result and Gyoja's q-analogue of the Young symmetrizer, we construct a highest weight vector of each irreducible summmand of the tensor product space.
In this paper, a notion of cyclotomic (or level $k$) walled Brauer algebras $\mathscr B_{k, r, t}$ is introduced for arbitrary positive integer $k$. It is proven that $\mathscr B_{k, r, t}$ is free over a commutative ring with rank $k^{r+t}(r+t)!$ if and only if it is admissible. Using super Schur-Weyl duality between general linear Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}$ and $\mathscr B_{2, r, t}$, we give a classification of highest weight vectors of $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}$-modules $M_{pq}^{rt}$, the tensor products of Kac-modules with mixed tensor products of the natural module and its dual. …
It is proved that the regularity of parafermion vertex operator algebras associated to integrable highest weight modules for affine Kac-Moody algebra A_1^{(1)} implies the C_2-cofiniteness of parafermion vertex operator algebras associated to integrable highest weight modules for any affine Kac-Moody algebra. In particular, the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to an integrable highest weight module of small level for any affine Kac-Moody algebra is C_2-cofinite and has only finitely many irreducible modules. Also, the parafermion vertex operator algebras with level 1 are determin…
With the help of path realization and affine energy function, we give a Young wall construction of level-1 highest weight crystals $B(λ)$ over $U_{q}(G_{2}^{(1)})$ and $U_{q}(D_{4}^{(3)})$. Our construction is based on four different shapes of colored blocks, $\mathbf O$-block, $\mathbf I$-block, $\mathbf L$-block and $\mathbf{LL}$-block, obtained by cutting the unit cube in three different ways.
We give the first positive formulas for the weights of every simple highest weight module $L(λ)$ over an arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra. Under a mild condition on the highest weight, we also express the weights of $L(λ)$ as an alternating sum similar to the Weyl-Kac character formula. To obtain these results, we show the following data attached to a highest weight module are equivalent: (i) its integrability, (ii) the convex hull of its weights, (iii) the Weyl group symmetry of its character, and (iv) when a localization theorem is available, its behavior on certain codimension one Schubert cells…

In [1] we have constructed a [n+1/2]+1 parameters family of irreducible representations of the Braid group B_3 in arbitrary dimension using a $q-$deformation of the Pascal triangle. This construction extends in particular results by S.P. Humphries (2000), who constructed representations of the braid group B_3 in arbitrary dimension using the classical Pascal triangle. E. Ferrand (2000) obtained an equivalent representation of B_3 by considering two special operators in the space ${\mathbb C}^n[X].$ Slightly more general representations were given by I. Tuba and H. Wenzl (2001). They involve [n…
We present a criterion for establishing Morita equivalence of monoidal categories, and apply it to the categorical representation theory of reductive groups $G$. We show that the "de Rham group algebra" $\mathcal D(G)$ (the monoidal category of $\mathcal D$-modules on $G$) is Morita equivalent to the universal Hecke category $\mathcal D(N \backslash G/N)$ and to its monodromic variant $\widetilde{\mathcal D}(B \backslash G / B)$. In other words, de Rham $G$-categories, i.e., module categories for $\mathcal D(G)$, satisfy a "highest weight theorem" - they all appear in the decomposition of the …
Using the bases of principal subspaces for twisted affine Lie algebras except $A_{2l}^{(2)}$ by Butorac and Sadowski, we construct bases of the highest weight modules of highest weight $kΛ_0$ and parafermionic spases for the same affine Lie algebras. As a result, we obtain their character formulas conjectured in arXiv:math/0102113.
Let $V(Λ_i)$ (resp., $V(-Λ_j)$) be a fundamental integrable highest (resp., lowest) weight module of $U_q(\hat{sl}_{2})$. The tensor product $V(Λ_i)\otimes V(-Λ_j)$ is filtered by submodules $F_n=U_q(\hat{sl}_{2})(v_i\otimes \bar{v}_{n-i})$, $n\ge 0, n\equiv i-j\bmod 2$, where $v_i\in V(Λ_i)$ is the highest vector and $\bar{v}_{n-i}\in V(-Λ_j)$ is an extremal vector. We show that $F_n/F_{n+2}$ is isomorphic to the level 0 extremal weight module $V(n(Λ_1-Λ_0))$. Using this we give a functional realization of the completion of $V(Λ_i)\otimes V(-Λ_j)$ by the filtration $(F_n)_{n\geq0}$. The subsp…
We consider $U_{q}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n})$, the quantum group of type $A$ for $|q| = 1$, $q$ generic. We provide formulas for signature characters of irreducible finite-dimensional highest weight modules and Verma modules. In both cases, the technique involves combinatorics of the Gelfand-Tsetlin bases. As an application, we obtain information about unitarity of finite-dimensional irreducible representations for arbitrary $q$: we classify the continuous spectrum of the unitarity locus. We also recover some known results in the classical limit $q \rightarrow 1$ that were obtained by different means…
We study some non-highest weight modules over an affine Kac-Moody algebra at non-critical level. Roughly speaking, these modules are non-commutative localizations of some non-highest weight "vacuum" modules. Using free field realization, we embed some rings of differential operators in endomorphism rings of our modules. These rings of differential operators act on a localization of the space of coinvariants of any module over the Kac-Moody algebra with respect to a certain level subalgebra. In a particular case this action is identified with the Casimir connection.
