We determine the root multiplicities of the Kac–Moody Lie algebra [Formula: see text] of indefinite type using a recursive root multiplicity formula due to Kang. We view [Formula: see text] as a representation of its subalgebra [Formula: see text] and then use the combinatorics of the irreducible representations of [Formula: see text] to determine the root multiplicities.

This paper considers the properties of the representation of a Lie algebra when restricted to an ideal, the subduced* representation of the ideal. This point of view leads to new forms for irreducible representations of Lie algebras, once the concept of matrices of invariance is developed. This concept permits us to show that irreducible representations of a Lie algebra, over an algebraically closed field, can be expressed as a Lie-Kronecker product whose factors are associated with the representation subduced on an ideal. Conversely, if one has such factors, it is shown that they can be put together to give an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra. A valuable guide to this work was supplied by a paper of Clifford (1).

Let us consider the following two problems:Problem A. Let g be a given Lie algebra over the real number field R. Then find all real, irreducible representations of g.Problem B. Let n be a given positive integer. Then find all irreducible subalgebras of the Lie algebra ôí(w, R) of all real matrices of degree n.

This paper presents new generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the symplectic Lie algebra. These generators are expressed in terms of the column-permanent and it is easy to calculate their eigenvalues on irreducible representations. We can regard these generators as the counterpart of central elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra given in terms of the column-determinant by Wachi. The earliest prototype of all these central elements is the Capelli determinants in the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra.

AbstractLetL=H(2r;n) be a graded Lie algebra of Hamiltonian type in the Cartan type series over an algebraically closed field of characteristicp>2. In the generalized restricted Lie algebra setup, any irreducible representation ofLcorresponds uniquely to a (generalized)p-characterχ. When the height ofχis no more than min {pni−pni−1∣i=1,2,…,2r}−2, the corresponding irreducible representations are proved to be induced from irreducible representations of the distinguished maximal subalgebraL0with the aid of an analogy of Skryabin’s category ℭ for the generalized Jacobson–Witt algebras and modulo finitely many exceptional cases. Since the exceptional simple modules have been classified, we can then give a full description of the irreducible representations withp-characters of height below this number.
