On certain categories of modules for affine Lie algebras (Q706108)

In the paper under review, the author uses basic formal variable techniques to study certain categories of modules for the affine Lie algebras \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\). He defines two categories \({\mathcal E}\) and \({\mathcal C}\) of \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)-modules and obtains important classifications of integrable irreducible modules in these categories. He proves that the irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)--modules in the category \({\mathcal E}\) are exactly the finite-dimensional irreducible evaluation modules. The author also shows that the irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)--modules in the category \({\mathcal C}\) up to isomorphism are the tensor product modules of highest weight irreducible integrable \(\hat{\mathfrak g}\)-modules with finite-dimensional irreducible evaluation modules. These results are related with the work of \textit{V. Chari, A. Pressley} [Math. Ann. 277, 543--562 (1987; Zbl 0608.17009)] on integrable representations.
