On certain categories of modules for affine Lie algebras (Q706108): Difference between revisions

In the paper under review, the author uses basic formal variable techniques to study certain categories of modules for the affine Lie algebras \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\). He defines two categories \({\mathcal E}\) and \({\mathcal C}\) of \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)-modules and obtains important classifications of integrable irreducible modules in these categories. He proves that the irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)--modules in the category \({\mathcal E}\) are exactly the finite-dimensional irreducible evaluation modules. The author also shows that the irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)--modules in the category \({\mathcal C}\) up to isomorphism are the tensor product modules of highest weight irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)-modules with finite-dimensional irreducible evaluation modules. These results are related with the work of \textit{V. Chari, A. Pressley} [Math. Ann. 277, 543--562 (1987; Zbl 0608.17009)] on integrable representations.
