Demazure modules and Weyl modules: the twisted current case

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study finite-dimensional respresentations of twisted current algebras and show that any graded twisted Weyl module is isomorphic to level one Demazure module for the twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. Using the tensor product property of Demazure modules, we obtain, by analyzing the fundamental Weyl modules, dimension and character formulas. Moreover we prove that graded twisted Weyl modules can be obtained by taking the associated graded modules of Weyl modules for the loop algebra, which implies that its dimension and classical character are independent of the support and depend only on its classical highest weight. These results were known before for untwisted current algebras and are new for all twisted types.


This work contributes to the ongoing study of finite-dimensional representations of various extensions of simple complex Lie algebras \(\mathfrak{g}\). These extensions include current algebras \(\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C}[t]\) and loop algebras \(\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}]\), as well as versions of these twisted by taking fixed points of the action of Dynkin diagram automorphisms. Unlike the classical semisimple situation, the theory is difficult and proceeds by examining particular classes of modules, with a view to obtaining dimension and character formulae.NEWLINENEWLINEThe present paper examines graded twisted Weyl modules, showing that these are isomorphic to level one Demazure modules for the twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra and also that, in the majority of cases, they may be obtained as associated graded modules of Weyl modules for the corresponding untwisted loop algebra. These results allow the transfer of known results from the untwisted setting to the twisted one, yielding the sought dimension and character formulae.
