Verma modules over generalized Virasoro algebras Vir[G]

Let F be a field of characteristic 0, not necessarily algebraically closed, and G be an additive subgroup of F. For any total order on G which is compatible with the group addition, and for any , a Verma module over the generalized Virasoro algebra Vir[G] is defined. In the present paper, the irreducibility of Verma modules is completely determined.

Imbedding a Filial Ring with Identity

We obtain that a uniformly bounded simple module over a high rank Virasoro algebra is a module of the intermediate series, and that a simple module with finite dimensional weight spaces is either a module of the intermediate series or a so-called GHW module.

     

Modified regular representations of affine and Virasoro algebras, VOA structure and semi-infinite cohomology

We find a counterpart of the classical fact that the regular representation R(G) of a simple complex group G is spanned by the matrix elements of all irreducible representations of G. Namely, the algebra of functions on the big cell G₀⊂G of the Bruhat decomposition is spanned by matrix elements of big projective modules from the category O of representations of the Lie algebra g of G, and has the structure of a g⊕g-module.The standard regular representation of the affine group has two commuting actions of the Lie algebra with total central charge 0, and carries the structure of a conformal field theory. The modified versions and , originating from the loop version of the Bruhat decomposition, have two commuting -actions with central charges shifted by the dual Coxeter number, and acquire vertex operator algebra structures derived from their Fock space realizations, given explicitly for the case G=SL(2,C).The quantum Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction transforms the representations of the affine Lie algebras into their W-algebra counterparts, and can be used to produce analogues of the modified regular representations. When g=sl(2,C) the corresponding W-algebra is the Virasoro algebra. We describe the Virasoro analogues of the modified regular representations, which are vertex operator algebras with the total central charge equal to 26.The special values of the total central charges in the affine and Virasoro cases lead to the non-trivial semi-infinite cohomology with coefficients in the modified regular representations. The inherited vertex algebra structure on this cohomology degenerates into a supercommutative associative superalgebra. We describe these superalgebras in the case when the central charge is generic, and identify the 0th cohomology with the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional G-modules. We conjecture that for the integral values of the central charge the 0th semi-infinite cohomology coincides with the Verlinde algebra and its counterpart associated with the big projective 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 harish-chandra modules over the super-virasoro algebras

In this paper, we first construct all indecomposable modules whose dimensions of weight spaces of the even and odd parts are ≤ 1, then classify all Harish-Chandra module over the super-Virasoro algebras, proving that every Harish-Chandra module over the super-Virasoro algebras 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 as a conjecture by Kac on the Virasoro algebra.     

Quasifinite modules of a Lie algebra related to Block type

Let B be the universal central extension of a graded Lie algebra of Block type. In this paper, it is proved that any quasifinite irreducible B-module is either highest weight, lowest weight or uniformly bounded. Furthermore, the quasifinite irreducible highest weight B-modules are classified, and the intermediate series B-modules are classified and constructed.     

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.     

Second cohomology groups for Frobenius kernels and related structures

Let G be a simple simply connected affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p for an odd prime p. Let B be a Borel subgroup of G and U be its unipotent radical. In this paper, we determine the second cohomology groups of B and its Frobenius kernels for all simple B-modules. We also consider the standard induced modules obtained by inducing a simple B-module to G and compute all second cohomology groups of the Frobenius kernels of G for these induced modules. Also included is a calculation of the second ordinary Lie algebra cohomology group of Lie(U) with coefficients in k.     

The automorphism group of certain higher degree forms

We consider symmetric indecomposable d-linear (d>2) spaces of dimension n over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, whose center (the analog of the space of symmetric matrices of a bilinear form) is cyclic, as introduced by Reichstein [B. Reichstein, On Waring’s problem for cubic forms, Linear Algebra Appl. 160 (1992) 1-61]. The automorphism group of these spaces is determined through the action on the center and through the determination of the Lie algebra. Furthermore, we relate the Lie algebra to the Witt algebra.     

Classification of quasifinite modules over the Lie algebras of Weyl type

For a nondegenerate additive subgroup Γ of the n-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, there is an associative algebra and a Lie algebra of Weyl type spanned by all differential operators uD₁^m₁?D_n^m_n for (the group algebra), and m₁,…,m_n?0, where D₁,…,D_n are degree operators. In this paper, it is proved that an irreducible quasifinite -module is either a highest or lowest weight module or else a module of the intermediate series; furthermore, a classification of uniformly bounded -modules is completely given. It is also proved that an irreducible quasifinite -module is a module of the intermediate series and a complete classification of quasifinite -modules is also given, if Γ is not isomorphic to .     

On classification of quasifinite representations of two classes of Lie superalgebras of block type

Motivated by a well-known theorem of Mathieu’s on Harish–Chandra modules over the Virasoro algebra and its super version, we show that an irreducible quasifinite module over two classes of Lie superalgebras 𝒮(q) of Block type is either a highest or lowest weight module or else a module of the intermediate series if q≠?1. For such a module over 𝒮(?1), we give a rough classification.     

Spaces of orders and their Turing degree spectra

We investigate computability theoretic and topological properties of spaces of orders on computable orderable groups. A left order on a group G is a linear order of the domain of G, which is left-invariant under the group operation. Right orders and bi-orders are defined similarly. In particular, we study groups for which the spaces of left orders are homeomorphic to the Cantor set, and their Turing degree spectra contain certain upper cones of degrees. Our approach unifies and extends Sikora’s (2004) [28] investigation of orders on groups in topology and Solomon’s (2002) [31] investigation of these orders in computable algebra. Furthermore, we establish that a computable free group F_n of rank n>1 has a bi-order in every Turing degree.     

Classification of Irreducible Weight Modules with a Finite-dimensional Weight Space over Twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro Algebra

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 Heisenber-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）.     

Application of Vertex Algebras to the Structure Theory of Certain Representations Over the Virasoro Algebra

In this paper, we discuss the structure of the tensor product \(V_{\alpha,\beta }^{\prime}\otimes L(c,h)\) of an irreducible module from an intermediate series and irreducible highest-weight module over the Virasoro algebra. We generalize Zhang’s irreducibility criterion from Zhang (J Algebra 190:1–10, 1997), and show that irreducibility depends on the existence of integral roots of a certain polynomial, induced by a singular vector in the Verma module V(c,h). A new type of irreducible Vir-module with infinite-dimensional weight subspaces is found. We show how the existence of intertwining operators for modules over vertex operator algebra yields reducibility of \(V_{\alpha ,\beta}^{\prime}\otimes L(c,h)\) , which is a completely new point of view to this problem. As an example, the complete structure of the tensor product with minimal models c?=???22/5 and c?=?1/2 is presented.     

Infinite-dimensional super Lie groups

A super Lie group is a group whose operations are G^∞ mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are G^∞ functions. Moreover the images of our charts are open subsets of a graded infinite-dimensional Banach space since our space of supernumbers is a Banach Grassmann algebra with a countably infinite set of generators.In this context, we prove that if h is a closed, split sub-super Lie algebra of the super Lie algebra of a super Lie group G, then h is the super Lie algebra of a sub-super Lie group of G. Additionally, we show that if g is a Banach super Lie algebra satisfying certain natural conditions, then there is a super Lie group G such that the super Lie algebra g is in fact the super Lie algebra of G. We also show that if H is a closed sub-super Lie group of a super Lie group G, then G→G/H is a principal fiber bundle.We emphasize that some of these theorems are known when one works in the super-analytic category and also when the space of supernumbers is finitely generated in which case, one can use finite-dimensional techniques. The issues dealt with here are that our supermanifolds are modeled on graded Banach spaces and that all mappings must be morphisms in the G^∞ category.     

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.     

Wiener–Tauberian type theorems for radial sections of homogenous vector bundles on certain rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type

We will show that an uniform treatment yields Wiener–Tauberian type results for various Banach algebras and modules consisting of radial sections of some homogenous vector bundles on rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces G/K of noncompact type. One example of such a vector bundle is the spinor bundle. The algebras and modules we consider are natural generalizations of the commutative Banach algebra of integrable radial functions on G/K. The first set of them are Beurling algebras with analytic weights, while the second set arises due to Kunze–Stein phenomenon for noncompact semisimple Lie groups.     

Presenting degenerate Ringel-Hall algebras of cyclic quivers

Using the generators labelled by simple and sincere semisimple modules for the Ringel-Hall algebra H_q(n) of a cyclic quiver Δ(n), we give a presentation for the degenerate algebra H₀(n). This is achieved by establishing a presentation for the generic extension monoid algebra of Δ(n). As an application, we show that both the degenerate Ringel-Hall algebra and the degenerate quantum affine sl_n admit multiplicative bases.
