Abstract: We introduce a tensor category O_+ (resp. O_{-}) of certain modules of gl_{infty} with non-negative (resp. non-positive) integral central charges with the usual tensor product. We also introduce a tensor category O_f consisting of certain modules over GL(N) for all N. We show that the tensor categories O_+, O_{-} and O_f are semisimple abelian and all equivalent to each other. We give a formula to decompose a tensor product of two modules in each of these categories. We also introduce a tensor category O^w of certain modules over W_{1 +infty} with non-negative integral central charges. We show that O^w is semisimple abelian and give an explicit formula to decompose a tensor product of two modules in O^w.

Review text

The author introduces two tensor categories of certain irreducible highest weight representations of \(\widehat{gl}\) with nonnegative and nonpositive integral central charges, respectively. He shows that a tensor of two irreducible modules in each category decomposes into an (infinite) direct sum of irreducible modules with finite multiplicities. A reciprocity law has been obtained. Moreover, the author proves that these two categories are abelian tensor categories and are equivalent to each other. Similar results on a related tensor category of certain modules of \({\mathcal W}_{1+\infty}\) are obtained.
