Higher rank polynomial modules over \(U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\) (Q6865392)

The authors study the higher rank polynomial modules for the quantum group \(U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\), improving Bavula's description of irreducible nonweight modules using the terminology of generalized Weyl algebras, constructing examples of irreducible polynomial modules of arbitrary finite rank, describing irreducible polynomial modules in terms of Smith normal form, and presenting properties of dual polynomial modules. The authors also consider the tensor products of irreducible polynomial modules with finite-dimensional simple modules, obtaining a direct sum decomposition formula, similar to classical Clebsch-Gordan formula, under some conditions.
