Global Weyl modules for the twisted loop algebra

We define global Weyl modules for twisted loop algebras and analyze their highest weight spaces, which are in fact isomorphic to Laurent polynomial rings in finitely many variables. We are able to show that the global Weyl module is a free module of finite rank over these rings. Furthermore we prove, that there exist injective maps from the global Weyl modules for twisted loop algebras into a direct sum of global Weyl modules for untwisted loop algebras. Relations between local Weyl modules for twisted and untwisted generalized current algebras are known; we provide for the first time a relation on global Weyl modules.     

Weyl modules for the twisted loop algebras

The notion of a Weyl module, previously defined for the untwisted affine algebras, is extended here to the twisted affine algebras. We describe an identification of the Weyl modules for the twisted affine algebras with suitably chosen Weyl modules for the untwisted affine algebras. This identification allows us to use known results in the untwisted case to compute the dimensions and characters of the Weyl modules for the twisted algebras.     

Representations of twisted current algebras

We use evaluation representations to give a complete classification of the finite-dimensional simple modules of twisted current algebras. This generalizes and unifies recent work on multiloop algebras, current algebras, equivariant map algebras, and twisted forms.     

Simple weith modules over twisted generalized weyl algebras

We introduce a twisted higher rank generalization of generalized Weyl algebras and study simple weight modules over such algebras.     

Relative Reduction and Buchberger’s Algorithm in Filtered Free Modules

In this paper we develop a relative Gröbner basis method for a wide class of filtered modules. Our general setting covers the cases of modules over rings of differential, difference, inversive difference and difference–differential operators, Weyl algebras and multiparameter twisted Weyl algebras (the last class of rings includes the classes of quantized Weyl algebras and twisted generalized Weyl algebras). In particular, we obtain a Buchberger-type algorithm for constructing relative Gröbner bases of filtered free modules.     

Cartan decompositions and BGG-resolutions

Necessary and sufficient criteria are given for the existence of BGG-resolutions (finite resolutions of modules by finite direct sums of Weyl modules) for simple modules over quasi-hereditary algebras, which have strong exact Borel subalgebras and strong Δ-subalgebras. Our main technical tool is the existence of Cartan decompositions for these algebras. The results apply to simple objects in the BGG-categoryO of a finite-dimensional semisimple complex Lie algebra and to finite dimensional simple rational modules over simply connected semisimple algebraic groups.     

Weyl modules, Demazure modules, KR-modules, crystals, fusion products and limit constructions

We study finite-dimensional representations of current algebras, loop algebras and their quantized versions. For the current algebra of a simple Lie algebra of type ADE, we show that Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and Weyl modules are in fact all Demazure modules. As a consequence one obtains an elementary proof of the dimension formula for Weyl modules for the current and the loop algebra. Further, we show that the crystals of the Weyl and the Demazure module are the same up to some additional label zero arrows for the Weyl module.For the current algebra Cg of an arbitrary simple Lie algebra, the fusion product of Demazure modules of the same level turns out to be again a Demazure module. As an application we construct the Cg-module structure of the Kac-Moody algebra -module V(?Λ₀) as a semi-infinite fusion product of finite-dimensional Cg-modules.     

Finite-Dimensional Representations of Hyper Loop Algebras over Non-algebraically Closed Fields

We study finite-dimensional representations of hyper loop algebras over non-algebraically closed fields. The main results concern the classification of the irreducible representations, the construction of the Weyl modules, base change, tensor products of irreducible and Weyl modules, and the block decomposition of the underlying abelian category. Several results are interestingly related to the study of irreducible representations of polynomial algebras and Galois theory.     

Generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras

We introduce the notion of generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras. We study their representation-theoretic and combinatorial properties and also their connection with nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. As an application, we compute the dimension of the classical Weyl modules in the remaining unknown case.     

Representations of quantum orders

We study finite-dimensional algebras that appear as fibers of quantum orders over a given point of variety of center. We present a formula for the number of irreducible representations and check it for the algebra of twisted polynomials, the quantum Weyl algebra, and the algebra of regular functions on a quantum group. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 157–167, 2005.     

Multiplets of representations, twisted Dirac operators and Vogan's conjecture in affine setting

We extend classical results of Kostant et al. on multiplets of representations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and on the cubic Dirac operator to the setting of affine Lie algebras and twisted affine cubic Dirac operator. We prove in this setting an analogue of Vogan's conjecture on infinitesimal characters of Harish-Chandra modules in terms of Dirac cohomology. For our calculations we use the machinery of Lie conformal and vertex algebras.     

A categorical approach to Weyl modules

Global and local Weyl modules were introduced via generators and relations in the context of affine Lie algebras in [CP2] and were motivated by representations of quantum affine algebras. In [FL] a more general case was considered by replacing the polynomial ring with the coordinate ring of an algebraic variety and partial results analogous to those in [CP2] were obtained. In this paper we show that there is a natural definition of the local and global Weyl modules via homological properties. This characterization allows us to define the Weyl functor from the category of left modules of a commutative algebra to the category of modules for a simple Lie algebra. As an application we are able to understand the relationships of these functors to tensor products, generalizing results in [CP2] and [FL]. We also analyze the fundamental Weyl modules and show that, unlike the case of the affine Lie algebras, the Weyl functors need not be left exact.     

Representations of nongraded Lie algebras of block type

From his classification of quadratic conformal algebras corresponding to certain Hamiltonian pairs in integrable systems, Xu found a family of simple Lie algebras related to pairs of locally-finite derivations on certain commutative associative algebras. In this paper, we construct a large family of irreducible modules with four parameters for Xu's two-devivation algebras via the corresponding algebras of Weyl type. When the derivations are graded operators, we obtain a large family of uniformly-bounded irreducible weight modules for the Block algebras.     

Representations of four-derivation Lie algebras of Block type

Block introduced certain analogues of the Zassenhaus algebras over a field of characteristic 0. The nongraded infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras of Block type constructed by Xu can be viewed as generalizations of the Block algebras. In this paper, we construct a family of irreducible modules in terms of multiplication and differentiation operators on ＂polynomials＂ for four-devivation nongraded Lie algebras of Block type based on the finite-dimensional irreducible weight modules with multiplicity one of general linear Lie algebras. We also find a new series of submodules from which some irreducible quotient modules are obtained.     

The Admissibility of Simple Bounded Modules for an Affine Lie Algebra

This paper studies a class of simple integrable modules for an affine Lie algebras which are closely related to the finite-dimensional modules studied by V. Chari and A. Pressley, except that the Euler element is assumed to act. They are infinite-dimensional; but are shown to have finite-dimensional weight spaces. It is conjectured that any simple integrable module with a zero weight space belongs to this class and their classification is given. The main interest in studying such modules is that they may occur in the endomorphism rings of highest weight modules whilst those of Chari and Pressley in general do not. Their character theory is also more complicated.     

On Fomin–Kirillov algebras for complex reflection groups

In this note, we apply classification results for finite-dimensional Nichols algebras to generalizations of Fomin–Kirillov algebras to complex reflection groups. First, we focus on the case of cyclic groups where the corresponding Nichols algebras are only finite-dimensional up to order four, and we include results about the existence of Weyl groupoids and finite-dimensional Nichols subalgebras for this class. Second, recent results by Heckenberger–Vendramin [ArXiv e-prints, 1412.0857 (December 2014)] on the classification of Nichols algebras of semisimple group type can be used to find that these algebras are infinite-dimensional for many non-exceptional complex reflection groups in the Shephard–Todd classification.     

Extreme modules over the Weyl algebraA n

Certain classes of simple modules over generalized Weyl algebras (extreme modules, polynomial modules, and modules with strongD-torsion) are classified. For these algebras, analogs of the Bernshtein and Stafford theorems are proved.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 9, pp. 1187–1197, September, 1993.The author expresses his gratitude to Prof. Yu.

Twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q and quantization of its enveloping superalgebra

We introduce a new quantum group which is a quantization of the enveloping superalgebra of a twisted affine Lie superalgebra of type Q. We study generators and relations for superalgebras in the finite and twisted affine cases, and also universal central extensions. Afterwards, we apply the FRT formalism to a certain solution of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation to define that new quantum group and we study some of its properties. We construct a functor of Schur–Weyl type which connects it to affine Hecke–Clifford algebras and prove that it provides an equivalence between two categories of modules.     

Indecomposable representations of generalized weyl algebras

For a class of generalized Weyl algebras which includes the Weyl algebras A_n a criterion is given as to when the category of indecomposable weight and generalized weight modules with supports from a fixed orbit is tame. In tame cases indecomposable modules are described.     

Blocks and modules for Whittaker pairs

Inspired by recent activities on Whittaker modules over various (Lie) algebras, we describe a general framework for the study of Lie algebra modules locally finite over a subalgebra. As a special case, we obtain a very general set-up for the study of Whittaker modules, which includes, in particular, Lie algebras with triangular decomposition and simple Lie algebras of Cartan type. We describe some basic properties of Whittaker modules, including a block decomposition of the category of Whittaker modules and certain properties of simple Whittaker modules under some rather mild assumptions. We establish a connection between our general set-up and the general set-up of Harish-Chandra subalgebras in the sense of Drozd, Futorny and Ovsienko. For Lie algebras with triangular decomposition, we construct a family of simple Whittaker modules (roughly depending on the choice of a pair of weights in the dual of the Cartan subalgebra), describe their annihilators, and formulate several classification conjectures. In particular, we construct some new simple Whittaker modules for the Virasoro algebra. Finally, we construct a series of simple Whittaker modules for the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra, and consider several finite-dimensional examples, where we study the category of Whittaker modules over solvable Lie algebras and their relation to Koszul algebras.
