Classification of simple Novikov algebras and their irreducible modules of characteristic 0 (Q5957531)

A linear transformation \(T\) of a vector space \(V\) over a field \(F\) is called locally finite if the subspace \(\sum_{m=0}^\infty FT^m(v)\) is finite dimensional for any \(v\in V\). An element \(u\) of a Novikov algebra is called left locally finite if its left multiplication operator \(L_u\) is locally finite. In this paper the author classifies infinite-dimensional simple Novikov algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, which contain a left locally finite element \(e\) whose right multiplication operator \(R_e\) is a constant map, and whose left multiplication operator is surjective if \(R_e=0\). He also classifies all the irreducible modules of certain infinite-dimensional simple Novikov algebras with an idempotent whose left action is locally finite.
