Let L denote a finite dimensional, simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero. It is well known that every weight space of an irreducible representation (ρ, V) admitting a highest weight function is finite dimensional. In a previous paper [2], we have established the existence of a wide class of irreducible representations which admit a one-dimensional weight space but no highest weight function. In this paper we show that the weight spaces of all such representations are finite dimensional.

Let L denote a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. It is well known that every finite-dimension 1, irreducible representation of L admits a weight space decomposition; moreover every irreducible representation of L having at least one weight space admits a weight space decomposition.

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.

Totally Disconnected

In this paper, both the structure and the theory of representations of finite groupoids are discussed. A finite connected groupoid turns out to be an extension of the groupoids of pairs of its set of units by its canonical totally disconnected isotropy subgroupoid. An extension of Maschke’s theorem for groups is proved showing that the algebra of a finite groupoid is semisimple and all finite-dimensional linear representations of finite groupoids are completely reducible. The theory of characters for finite-dimensional representations of finite groupoids is developed and it is shown that irreducible representations of the groupoid are in one-to-one correspondence with irreducible representation of its isotropy groups, with an extension of Burnside’s theorem describing the decomposition of the regular representation of a finite groupoid. Some simple examples illustrating these results are exhibited with emphasis on the groupoids interpretation of Schwinger’s description of quantum mechanical systems.

The Family

For a simple Lie algebra L over the complex numbers ℂ all irreducible representations admitting a highest weight have been constructed and characterized for example in [3, 6]. In [1] Bouwer considered the family of all irreducible representations of L admitting at least one one-dimensional weight space (this includes, of course, all those having a highest weight space) and showed, by construction, that this is a strictly larger class of representations.

Dimensional Irreducible Representation

1. Introduction. It is well known that every finite-dimensional irreducible representation of a nilpotent group over an algebraically closed field is monomial, that is induced from a 1-dimensional representation of some subgroup. However, even a finitely generated nilpotent group in general has infinite-dimensional irreducible representations, and as a first step towards an understanding of these one wants to discover whether they too are necessarily monomial. The main point of this note is to show how far they can fail to be so.

Complex Number Field

Let L denote a simple Lie algebra over the complex number field C with H a fixed Cartan subalgebra and C(L) the centralizer of H in the universal enveloping algebra U of L. It is known [cf. 2, 5] that one can construct from each algebra homomorphism ϕ:C(L) → C a unique algebraically irreducible representation of L which admits a weight space decomposition relative to H in which the weight space corresponding to ϕ ↓ H ∈ H* is one-dimensional. Conversely, if (ρ, V) is an algebraically irreducible representation of L admitting a one-dimensional weight space Vλ for some λ ∈ H*, then there exists a unique algebra homomorphism ϕ:C(L) → C which extends λ such that (ρ, V) is equivalent to the representation constructed from ϕ. Any such representation will be said to be pointed.

Irreducible Unitary Representations

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a p p -adic field ( p ≠ 2 p\ne 2 ) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group G L GL of infinite matrices over a residue ring modulo p k p^k . Irreducible representations of the latter group are induced from finite-dimensional representations of certain open subgroups.

The Ideal

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).

Mass Functions

Let L denote a semi-simple, finite dimensional Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. If denotes a Cartan subalgebra of L and denotes the centralizer of in the universal enveloping algebra U of L, then it has been shown that each algebra homomorphism (called a "mass-function" on ) uniquely determines a linear irreducible representation of L. The technique involved in this construction is analogous to the Harish-Chandra construction [2] of dominated irreducible representations of L starting from a linear functional . The difference between the two results lies in the fact that all linear functionals on are readily obtained, whereas since is in general a noncommutative algebra the construction of mass-functions is decidedly nontrivial.

Necessary And Sufficient

A theory of highest weight modules over an arbitrary finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is constructed. A necessary and sufficient condition for the finite-dimensionality of such modules is proved. Generic finite-dimensional irreducible representations are defined and an explicit character formula for such representations is written down. It is conjectured that this formula applies to any generic finite-dimensional irreducible module over any finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra. The conjecture is proved for several classes of Lie superalgebras, in particular for all solvable ones, for all simple ones, and for certain semi-simple ones.
