Irreducible weight modules over the twisted Schrödinger-Virasoro algebra

It is shown that the support of an irreducible weight module over the SchrSdinger-Virasoro Lie algebra with an infinite-dimensional weight space coincides with the weight lattice, and all nontrivial weight spaces of such a module are infinite-dimensional. As a by-product, it is obtained that every simple weight module over Lie algebra of this type with a nontrivial finite-dimensional weight space is a Harish-Chandra module.     

Indecomposable modules of the intermediate series over W(a, b)

For any complex parameters a and b,W(a,b)is the Lie algebra with basis{Li,Wi|i∈Z}and relations[Li,Lj]=(j i)Li+j,[Li,Wj]=(a+j+bi)Wi+j,[Wi,Wj]=0.In this paper,indecomposable modules of the intermediate series over W(a,b)are classified.It is also proved that an irreducible Harish-Chandra W(a,b)-module is either a highest/lowest weight module or a uniformly bounded module.Furthermore,if a∈/Q,an irreducible weight W(a,b)-module is simply a Vir-module with trivial actions of Wk’s.     

Characteristic modules and tensor products over quasi-hereditary algebras

Let A be a monomial quasi-hereditary algebra with a pure strong exact Borel subalgebra B.It is proved that the category of induced good modules over B is contained in the category of good modules over A;that the characteristic module of A is an induced module of that of B via the exact functor-(?)_B A if and only if the induced A-module of an injective B-module remains injective as a B-module.Moreover,it is shown that an exact Borel subalgebra of a basic quasi-hereditary serial algebra is right serial and that the characteristic module of a basic quasi-hereditary serial algebra is exactly the induced module of that of its exact Borel subalgebra.     

Weak Hopf Algebras Corresponding to Borcherds-Cartan Matrices

Let y be a generalized Kac-Moody algebra with an integral Borcherds-Cartan matrix. In this paper, we define a d-type weak quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra wUq^d（y）, which is a weak Hopf algebra. We also study the highest weight module over the weak quantum algebra wUdq^d（y） and weak A-forms of wUq^d（y）.     

Conformal oscillator representations of orthogonal Lie algebras

The conformal transformations with respect to the metric defining the orthogonal Lie algebra o(n, C)give rise to a one-parameter(c) family of inhomogeneous first-order differential operator representations of the orthogonal Lie algebra o(n + 2, C). Letting these operators act on the space of exponential-polynomial functions that depend on a parametric vector a ∈ Cn, we prove that the space forms an irreducible o(n + 2, C)-module for any c ∈ C if a is not on a certain hypersurface. By partially swapping differential operators and multiplication operators, we obtain more general differential operator representations of o(n+2, C) on the polynomial algebra C in n variables. Moreover, we prove that C forms an infinite-dimensional irreducible weight o(n + 2, C)-module with finite-dimensional weight subspaces if c ∈ Z/2.     

Reducibility of hyperplane arrangements

Certain problems on reducibility of central hyperplane arrangements are settled. Firstly, a necessary and sufficient condition on reducibility is obtained. More precisely, it is proved that the number of irreducible components of a central hyperplane arrangement equals the dimension of the space consisting of the logarithmic derivations of the arrangement with degree zero or one. Secondly, it is proved that the decomposition of an arrangement into a direct sum of its irreducible components is unique up to an isomorphism of the ambient space. Thirdly, an effective algorithm for determining the number of irreducible components and decomposing an arrangement into a direct sum of its irreducible components is offered. This algorithm can decide whether an arrangement is reducible, and if it is the case, what the defining equations of irreducible components are.     

Selfinjective Koszul algebras of finite complexity

In this paper, we study selfinjective Koszul algebras of finite complexity. We prove that the complexity is a nonnegative integer when it is finite; and that the category Yt of modules with complexity less or equal to t, is resolving and coresolving. We show that for each 0 ≤ 1 ≤ m there exist a family of modules of complexity 1 parameterized by G（l, m）, the Grassmannian of l-dimensional subspaces of an m-dimensional vector space V, for the exterior algebra of V. Using complexity, we also give a new approach to the representation theory of a tame symmetric algebra with vanishing radical cube over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, via skew group algebra of a finite subgroup of SL（2, C） over the exterior algebra of a 2-dimensional vector space.     

On the Homology of the Virasoro Algebra

This paper gives the structure of the homology of the Witt algebra and the Virasoro algebra with coeffieionts in a Verma module. Let s_k=(3k^2+k)/2, t_k=(3k^2—k)/2,k\in Z_+, and P={—s_k,-t_k|k\in Z_+}. Then the author obtains the homology of the Witt algebra with coefficients in an irreducible module L(\Lambda) with highest weight \Lambda \notin P, and the homology of the Virasoro algebra with coefficients in some irreducible modules.     

Twisted toroidal Lie algebras and Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation

Let g be a(twisted or untwisted) affine Kac-Moody algebra, and μ be a diagram automorphism of g. In this paper, we give an explicit realization for the universal central extension ■ of the twisted loop algebra of g with respect to μ, which provides a Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation for the algebra ■when μ is non-transitive, and the presentation is indeed related to the quantization of twisted toroidal Lie algebras.     

Omni-Lie superalgebras and Lie 2-superalgebras

We introduce the notion of omni-Lie superalgebras as a super version of an omni-Lie algebra introduced by Weinstein. This algebraic structure gives a nontrivial example of Leibniz superalgebras and Lie 2-superalgebras. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between Dirac structures of the omni-Lie superalgebra and Lie superalgebra structures on a subspace of a super vector space,     

Tensor Product Weight Representations of the Neveu–Schwarz Algebra

We study the tensor product of a highest weight module with an intermediate series module over the Neveu–Schwarz algebra. If the highest weight module is nontrivial, the weight spaces of such a tensor product are infinite dimensional. We show that such a tensor product is indecomposable. Using a “shifting technique” developed by H. Chen, X. Guo, and K. Zhao for the Virasoro algebra case, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for such a tensor product to be irreducible. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such tensor products to be isomorphic.     

Classification of Simple Weight Modules for the Neveu–Schwarz Algebra with a Finite-Dimensional Weight Space

We show that the support of a simple weight module over the Neveu–Schwarz algebra, which has an infinite-dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such module are infinite-dimensional. As a corollary we obtain that every simple weight module over the Neveu–Schwarz algebra, having a nontrivial finite-dimensional weight space, is a Harish–Chandra module (and hence is either a highest or lowest weight module, or else a module of the intermediate series). This result generalizes a theorem which was originally given on the Virasoro algebra.

Extensions of Schrödinger–Virasoro conformal modules

In this paper, we study extensions between two finite irreducible conformal modules over the Schrödinger–Virasoro conformal algebra and the extended Schrödinger–Virasoro conformal algebra. Also, we classify all finite nontrivial irreducible conformal modules over the extended Schrödinger–Virasoro conformal algebra. As a byproduct, we obtain a classification of extensions of Heisenberg–Virasoro conformal modules.     

Classification of simple weight Virasoro modules with a finite-dimensional weight space

We show that the support of a simple weight module over the Virasoro algebra, which has an infinite-dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all non-trivial weight spaces of such module are infinite-dimensional. As a corollary we obtain that every simple weight module over the Virasoro algebra, having a non-trivial finite-dimensional weight space, is a Harish-Chandra module (and hence is either a simple highest or lowest weight module or a simple module from the intermediate series). This implies positive answers to two conjectures about simple pointed and simple mixed modules over the Virasoro algebra.     

Classification of simple weight modules for super-Virasoro algebra with a finite-dimensional weight space

There are two extensions of Virasoro algebra with particular importance in superstring theory: the Ramond algebra and the Neveu-Schwarz algebra, which are Z₂-graded extensions of the Virasoro algebra. In this paper, we show that the support of a simple weight module over the Ramond algebra with an infinite-dimensional weight space coincides with the weight lattice and that all intersections of non-trivial weight spaces and odd part or even part of the module are infinite-dimensional. This result together with the one that we have obtained over the Neveu-Schwarz algebra generalizes the result for the Virasoro algebra to the super-Virasoro algebras.     

Left-symmetric algebra structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra

The compatible left-symmetric algebra structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra with some natural grading conditions are completely determined. The results of the earlier work on left-symmetric algebra structures on the Virasoro algebra play an essential role in determining these compatible structures. As a corollary, any such left-symmetric algebra contains an infinite-dimensional nontrivial subalgebra that is also a submodule of the regular module.     

Graded Modules Over the q-Analog Virasoro-Like Algebra

In this paper, we deal with the classification of the irreducible Z-graded and Z ²-graded modules with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces for the q analog Virasoro-like algebra L. We first prove that a Z-graded L-module must be a uniformly bounded module or a generalized highest weight module. Then we show that an irreducible generalized highest weight Z-graded module with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces must be a highest (or lowest) weight module and give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a module with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces. We use the Z-graded modules to construct a class of Z ²-graded irreducible generalized highest weight modules with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces. Finally, we classify the Z ²-graded L-modules. We first prove that a Z ²-graded module must be either a uniformly bounded module or a generalized highest weight module. Then we prove that an irreducible nontrivial Z ²-graded module with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces must be isomorphic to a module constructed as above. As a consequence, we also classify the irreducible Z-graded modules and the irreducible Z ²-graded modules with finite dimensional homogeneous subspaces and center acting nontrivial.
