Extensions of conformal modules

From MaRDI portal





In the past few years great progress was made in the study of structural and representation theory of conformal algebras. The finite semisimple conformal algebras were classified in [\textit{A. D'Andrea} and \textit{V. G. Kac}, Sel. Math., New Ser. 4, No. 3, 377-418 (1998, Zbl 0918.17019)]. It was shown that every such conformal algebra is a direct sum of either a current conformal algebra associated with a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra, the Virasoro conformal algebra, or their semidirect sum. Their finite irreducible modules were also classified [cf. \textit{S.-J. Cheng} and \textit{V. G. Kac}, Conformal modules, Asian J. Math 1, 181-193 (1997), Erratum, ibid. 2, 153-156 (1998)]. Since modules over conformal algebras are in general not semisimple, it is important to investigate the extension problem. In the paper under review the authors solve the extension problem for finite conformal modules. In particular, they classify all possible extensions between irreducible finite modules for each type of finite semisimple conformal algebra. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0905.00081].
