AbstractLet be a finite dimensional complex semi-simple Lie algebra with Weyl group W and simple reflections S. For I ⊆ S let I be the corresponding semi-simple subalgebra of . Denote by WI the Weyl group of I and let w○ and wI○ be the longest elements of W and WI, respectively. In this paper we show that the answer to Kostant's problem, i.e. whether the universal enveloping algebra surjects onto the space of all ad-finite linear transformations of a given module, is the same for the simple highest weight I-module LI(x) of highest weight x ⋅ 0, x ∈ WI, as the answer for the simple highest weight -module L(xwI○w○) of highest weight xwI○w○ ⋅ 0. We also give a new description of the unique quasi-simple quotient of the Verma module Δ(e) with the same annihilator as L(y), y ∈ W.

Let [Formula: see text] be an untwisted affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra. The top of every irreducible highest weight integrable [Formula: see text]-module is the finite-dimensional irreducible [Formula: see text]-module, where the action of the simple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] is given by zeroth products arising from the underlying vertex operator algebra theory. Motivated by this fact, we consider zeroth products of level [Formula: see text] Frenkel–Jing operators corresponding to Drinfeld realization of the quantum affine algebra [Formula: see text]. By applying these products, which originate from the quantum vertex algebra theory developed by Li, on the extension of Koyama vertex operator [Formula: see text], we obtain an infinite-dimensional vector space [Formula: see text]. Next, we introduce an associative algebra [Formula: see text], a certain quantum analogue of the universal enveloping algebra [Formula: see text], and construct some infinite-dimensional [Formula: see text]-modules [Formula: see text] corresponding to the finite-dimensional irreducible [Formula: see text]-modules [Formula: see text]. We show that the space [Formula: see text] carries a structure of an [Formula: see text]-module and, furthermore, we prove that the [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text].

Let U be the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a simple Lie algebra g by Drinfel'd and Jimbo. Let λ be a classical fundamental weight for g, and ⋯(λ) the irreducible, finite-dimensional type 1 highest weight U-module with highest weight λ. We show that the canonical basis for ⋯(λ) (see Kashiwara [6, §0] and Lusztig [18, 14.4.12]) and the standard monomial basis (see [11, §§2.4 and 2.5]) for ⋯(λ) coincide.

AbstractThe problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same group acting on the symmetric tensor algebra of the Lie algebra. This process is applied to prove a constructive Hilbert–Nagata Theorem (including degree bounds) for the algebra of invariants in a Lie nilpotent relatively free associative algebra endowed with an action induced by a representation of a reductive group.

AbstractLet 𝔮 be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The symmetric algebra (𝔮) is equipped with the standard Lie–Poisson bracket. In this paper, we elaborate on a surprising observation that one naturally associates the second compatible Poisson bracket on (𝔮) to any finite order automorphism ϑ of 𝔮. We study related Poisson-commutative subalgebras (𝔮; ϑ) of 𝒮(𝔮) and associated Lie algebra contractions of 𝔮. To obtain substantial results, we have to assume that 𝔮 = 𝔤 is semisimple. Then we can use Vinberg’s theory of ϑ-groups and the machinery of Invariant Theory.If 𝔤 = 𝔥⊕⋯⊕𝔥 (sum of k copies), where 𝔥 is simple, and ϑ is the cyclic permutation, then we prove that the corresponding Poisson-commutative subalgebra (𝔮; ϑ) is polynomial and maximal. Furthermore, we quantise this (𝔤; ϑ) using a Gaudin subalgebra in the enveloping algebra 𝒰(𝔤).

In this paper we show that there exist exactly two nonequivalent simple infinite dimensional highest weight Cn modules having the property that every weight space is one dimensional. The tensor products of these modules with any finite-dimensional simple Cn module are proven to be completely reducible and we provide an explicit decomposition for such tensor products. As an application of these decompositions, we obtain two recursion formulas for computing the multiplicities of simple finite dimensional Cn modules. These formulas involve a sum over subgroups of index 2 in the Weyl group of Cn.

Let U be either the classical or quantized universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra [Formula: see text] extended over the field of fractions of the Cartan subalgebra. We suggest a PBW basis in U over the extended Cartan subalgebra diagonalizing the contravariant Shapovalov form on generic Verma module. The matrix coefficients of the form are calculated and the inverse form is explicitly constructed.

Let [Formula: see text] be the Lie algebra with basis {Li,j, C|i, j ∈ ℤ} and relations [Li,j, Lk,l] = ((j + 1)k - i(l + 1))Li+k, j+l + iδi, -kδj+l, -2C and [C, Li,j] = 0. It is proved that an irreducible highest weight [Formula: see text]-module is quasifinite if and only if it is a proper quotient of a Verma module. An additive subgroup Γ of 𝔽 corresponds to a Lie algebra [Formula: see text] of Block type. Given a total order ≻ on Γ and a weight Λ, a Verma [Formula: see text]-module M(Λ, ≻) is defined. The irreducibility of M(Λ, ≻) is completely determined.

In this paper, we investigate a conjecture of Dixmier [2] on the structure of basic cycles. Our interest in basic cycles arises primarily from the fact that the irreducible modules of a simple Lie algebra L having a weight space decomposition are completely determined by the irreducible modules of the cycle subalgebra of L. The basic cycles form a generating set for the cycle subalgebra.First some notation: F denotes an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, L a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra of rank n over F, H a fixed Cartan subalgebra, U(L) the universal enveloping algebra of L, C(L) the centralizer of H in U(L), Φ the set of nonzero roots in H*, the dual space of H, Δ = {α1, …, αn} a base of Φ, and Φ+ = {β1, …, βm} the positive roots corresponding to Δ.

AbstractWe describe a systematic method to construct arbitrary highest-weight modules, including arbitrary finite-dimensional representations, for any finite dimensional simple Lie algebra $${\mathfrak {g}}$$ g . The Lie algebra generators are represented as first order differential operators in $$\frac{1}{2} \left( \dim {\mathfrak {g}} - \text {rank} \, {\mathfrak {g}}\right) $$ 1 2 dim g - rank g variables. All rising generators $$\mathbf{e}$$ e are universal in the sense that they do not depend on representation, the weights enter (in a very simple way) only in the expressions for the lowering operators $$\mathbf{f}$$ f . We present explicit formulas of this kind for the simple root generators of all classical Lie algebras.

The problem which motivated the writing of this paper is that of finding structure behind the decomposition of the sl3 representation spaces V* ⊗ W = Hom(V, W) for finite dimensional irreducible sl3-modules V and W. For sl2 this extends the classical Clebsch-Gordon problem. The question has been considered for sl3 in a computational way in [5]. In this paper we build a conceptual algebraic framework going beyond the enveloping algebra of sl3.For each dominant integral weight α let Vα be an irreducible representation of sl3 of highest weight α. It is well known that, for weights α, μ, λ, the multiplicity of Vλ in Hom(Vα, Vα+μ) is bounded by the multiplicity of μ in Vλ, with equality for generic α. This suggests the possibility of a single construction of highest weight vectors of weight X in Hom(Vα, Vα+μ) which is valid for all a.
