This paper classifies irreducible, integrable highest weight modules for “current Kac–Moody Algebras” with finite-dimensional weight spaces. We prove that these modules turn out to be modules of appropriate direct sums of finitely many copies of Kac–Moody Lie algebras.

Abstract.We prove that for simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebras, affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras, the Virasoro algebra, and the Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra, simple highest weight modules are characterized by the property that all positive root elements act on these modules locally nilpotently. We also show that this is not the case for higher rank Virasoro algebras and for Heisenberg algebras.

In this paper, all irreducible weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over the twisted Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra are determined. There are two different classes of them. One class is formed by simple modules of intermediate series, whose nonzero weight spaces are all 1-dimensional; the other class consists of the irreducible highest weight modules and lowest weight modules.

Noncompact forms of the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum groups [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for si=±1 are studied at roots of unity. This covers [Formula: see text], su(n,p), so*(2l), sp(n,p), sp(l,ℝ), and exceptional cases. Finite dimensional unitary representations are found for all these forms, for even roots of unity. Their classical symmetry induced by the Frobenius map is determined, and the meaning of the extra quasi-classical generators appearing at even roots of unity is clarified. The unitary highest weight modules of the classical case are recovered in the limit q→1.
