An application of \(U(\mathfrak g)\)-bimodules to representation theory of affine Lie algebras (Q702139)

For the affine Lie algebra \(\hat g\) associated to the simple finite dimensional Lie algebra \(g\), the author considers the tensor product of the loop \(\hat g\)- module \(\bar {V(\mu)}\) associated to the irreducible finite dimensional \(g\)-module \(V(\mu)\) and the irreducible highest weight \(\hat g\)-module \(L_{k,\lambda}\). Then \(L_{k,\lambda}\) can be viewed as an irreducible module for the vertex operator algebra \(M_{k,0}\). The author proves that the tensor product is also irreducible under a mild condition. This result is applied to the integrable representations for affine Lie algebras.
