Representations of four-derivation Lie algebras of Block type (Q2266868)

\textit{R. Block} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 9, 613--620 (1958; Zbl 0087.26302)] introduced certain analogues of the Zassenhaus algebras over a field of characteristic 0. The nongraded infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras of Block type constructed by \textit{X. Xu} [Manuscr. Math. 100, 489--518 (1999; Zbl 1027.17007)] can be viewed as generalizations of the Block algebras. In this paper, the authors construct a family of irreducible modules in terms of multiplication and differentiation operators on ``polynomials'' for four-derivation nongraded Lie algebras of Block type based on the finite-dimensional irreducible weight modules with multiplicity one of general linear Lie algebras. They also give a new series of submodules from which some irreducible quotient modules are obtained.
