Derivation Simple Color Algebras and Semisimple Lie Color Algebras

Let K be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and Γ an abelian multiplicative group equipped with a bicharacter ε: Γ × Γ → K*. It is proved that, for any finite-dimensional derivation simple color algebra A over K, there exists a simple color algebra S and a color vector space V such that A? S? S^ε(V), where S^ε(V) is the ε-symmetric algebra of V. As an application of this result, a necessary and sufficient condition such that a Lie color algebra is semisimple is obtained.     

Verma-Type Modules for Quantum Affine Lie Algebras

Let be an untwisted affine Kac–Moody algebra and M_J() a Verma-type module for with J-highest weight P. We construct quantum Verma-type modules M_J^q() over the quantum group , investigate their properties and show that M_J^q() is a true quantum deformation of M_J() in the sense that the weight structure is preserved under the deformation. We also analyze the submodule structure of quantum Verma-type modules. Presented by A.

Extensions of Modules over Hopf Algebras Arising from Lie Algebras of Cartan Type

In this paper we prove that there are no self-extensions of simple modules over restricted Lie algebras of Cartan type. The proof given by Andersen for classical Lie algebras not only uses the representation theory of the Lie algebra, but also representations of the corresponding reductive algebraic group. The proof presented in the paper follows in the same spirit by using the construction of a infinite-dimensional Hopf algebra D(G) u( ) containing u( ) as a normal Hopf subalgebra, and the representation theory of this algebra developed in our previous work. Finite-dimensional hyperalgebra analogs D(G _r ) u( ) have also been constructed, and the results are stated in this setting.     

Characters of Simple Bounded Modules over an Untwisted Affine Lie Algebra

After V. Chari and A. Pressley, a simple integrable module with finite-dimensional weight spaces over an affine Lie algebra is either a standard module (highest or lowest weight), in which case its formal character is given by the famous Weyl–Kac formula, or a subquotient of a tensor product of loop modules. In this paper we compute formal characters of generic simple integrable modules of the latter type.     

Capability of Crossed Modules of Lie Algebras

In this paper, we introduce the concept of capability for crossed modules of Lie algebras, which is a generalization of capability in Lie algebras and groups. By using a special central ideal of a crossed module, we give a sufficient condition for the capability of a crossed module of Lie algebras. Also, we will extend the five-term exact sequence on homology of crossed modules of Lie algebras one term further and study the connection between the capability of crossed modules and this sequence. Finally, we study the relation between the capability and the center of a cover of a crossed module.     

Fock Space Realizations of Imaginary Verma Modules

This work expands to the setting of the results of H. Jakobsen and V. Kac and independently D. Bernard and G. Felder on the realization of , in terms of infinite sums of partial differential operators. We note in the paper that, in the generic case, these geometric constructions are just realizations of the imaginary Verma modules studied by V. Futorny. Presented by A.

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.     

Semisimple Lie Algebras of Differential Operators

Starting from the commutation relations in a complex semisimple Lie algebra , one may obtain a space of vector fields on Euclidean space such that and are isomorphic when is equipped with the usual Lie bracket between vector fields and the isotropy subalgebra of is a Borel subalgebra . Furthermore, one may adjoin to the vector fields in multiplication operators to obtain an -parameter family of distinct presentations of as spaces of differential operators, where is the dual of a Cartan subalgebra. Some of these presentations will preserve a space of polynomials on Euclidean space, and, in fact, all the finite-dimensional representations of can be presented in this way. All of this is carried out explicitly for arbitrary . In doing so, one discovers there is a Lie group of diffeomorphisms of the unipotent subgroup N complementary to B which acts on these presentations and preserves a certain notion of weight.

Pairs of Semisimple Lie Algebras and their Maximal Reductive Subalgebras

Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a semisimple Lie algebra over a field \(\mathbb K\), \(\text{char}\left( \mathbb{K} \right)=0\), and \(\mathfrak g_1\) a subalgebra reductive in \(\mathfrak g\). Suppose that the restriction of the Killing form B of \(\mathfrak g\) to \(\mathfrak g_1 \times \mathfrak g_1\) is nondegenerate. Consider the following statements: ( 1) For any Cartan subalgebra \(\mathfrak h_1\) of \(\mathfrak g_1\) there is a unique Cartan subalgebra \(\mathfrak h\) of \(\mathfrak g\) containing \(\mathfrak h_1\); ( 2) \(\mathfrak g_1\) is self-normalizing in \(\mathfrak g\); ( 3) The B-orthogonal \(\mathfrak p\) of \(\mathfrak g_1\) in \(\mathfrak g\) is simple as a \(\mathfrak g_1\)-module for the adjoint representation. We give some answers to this natural question: For which pairs \((\mathfrak g,\mathfrak g_1)\) do ( 1), ( 2) or ( 3) hold? We also study how \(\mathfrak p\) in general decomposes as a \(\mathfrak g_1\)-module, and when \(\mathfrak g_1\) is a maximal subalgebra of \(\mathfrak g\). In particular suppose \((\mathfrak g,\sigma )\) is a pair with \(\mathfrak g\) as above and σ its automorphism of order m. Assume that \(\mathbb K\) contains a primitive m-th root of unity. Define \(\mathfrak g_1:=\mathfrak g^{\sigma}\), the fixed point algebra for σ. We prove the following generalization of a well known result for symmetric Lie algebras, i.e., for m=2: (a) \((\mathfrak g,\mathfrak g_1)\) satisfies ( 1); (b) For m prime, \((\mathfrak g,\mathfrak g_1)\) satisfies ( 2).

Submodule Structure of Generalized Verma Modules Induced from Generic Gelfand-Zetlin Modules

For complex Lie algebra sl(n, C) we study the submodule structure of generalized Verma modules induced from generic Gelfand-Zetlin modules over some subalgebra of type sl(k, C). We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a submodule generalizing the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand theorem for Verma modules.

It is proved in this article that a bijective map ? on 𝔤 preserves Lie products if and only if it is a composition of a Lie algebra automorphism and a bijective map extended by an automorphism of the base field.

Suppose that a matched pair of Lie bialgebras is given, which has structure maps . Then it induces a matched pair of Hopf algebras, where is the universal envelope of and is the Hopf dual of .

An exact sequence involving either of these groups is obtained, which is a variation of the exact sequence due to G.I. Kac. If , there follows a bijection between the set of all cleft Hopf algebra extensions of by and the set of all Lie bialgebra extensions of by .

     

On the Quantum KPRV Determinants for Semisimple and Affine Lie Algebras

Let g be a semisimple or affine Lie algebra and U _q (g) its quantized enveloping algebra. Extending earlier work, the KPRV determinant for an admissible integrable U _q (g) module V relative to a parabolic subalgebra pg is defined and shown to be nonzero. These determinants had previously been evaluated for g semisimple and p a Borel subalgebra. The present results can be used to extend this to g affine as will be shown in a subsequent publication.For a parabolic subalgebra the evaluation of these determinants is much more difficult. For appropriate overalgebras of the primitive quotients of the enveloping algebra U(g) defined by one-dimensional representations of p, these determinants had been calculated for g semisimple. However the quantum case is interesting because it is unnecessary to pass to overalgebras and besides for U(g):g affine, it is not even clear how these determinants should be defined. Here for g semisimple, the degrees of the determinants are computed and shown to depend on being the same type of functions as in the enveloping algebra case; yet in a different fashion. Some special cases (in type A ₄) are computed explicity. Here, as in the Borel case, the determinants take a remarkably simple form and notably can be expressed as a product of linear factors. However compared to the enveloping algebra case one finds additional factors corresponding to what are called quantum zeros and whose origin remains unknown.     

Extremal Properties of Bases for Representations of Semisimple Lie Algebras

Let be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with specified Chevalley generators. Let V be a finite dimensional representation of with weight basis . The supporting graph P of is defined to be the directed graph whose vertices are the elements of and whose colored edges describe the supports of the actions of the Chevalley generators on V. Four properties of weight bases are introduced in this setting, and several families of representations are shown to have weight bases which have or are conjectured to have each of the four properties. The basis can be determined to be edge-minimizing (respectively, edge-minimal) by comparing P to the supporting graphs of other weight bases of V. The basis is solitary if it is the only basis (up to scalar changes) which has P as its supporting graph. The basis is a modular lattice basis if P is the Hasse diagram of a modular lattice. The Gelfand-Tsetlin bases for the irreducible representations of sl(n, ) serve as the prototypes for the weight bases sought in this paper. These bases, as well as weight bases for the fundamental representations of sp(2n, ) and the irreducible one-dimensional weight space representations of any semisimple Lie algebra, are shown to be solitary and edge-minimal and to have modular lattice supports. Tools developed here are used to construct uniformly the irreducible one-dimensional weight space representations. Similar results for certain irreducible representations of the odd orthogonal Lie algebra o(2n + 1, ), the exceptional Lie algebra G ₂, and for the adjoint and short adjoint representations of the simple Lie algebras are announced.
