Abstract: Let $Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $Gamma$ be an additive subgroup of $Bbbk$. Results of Kaplansky-Santharoubane and Su classify intermediate series representations of the generalised Witt algebra $W_{G}amma$ in terms of three families, one parameterised by ${mathbbA}^2$ and two by ${mathbbP}^1$. In this note, we use the first family to construct a homomorphism $Phi$ from the enveloping algebra $U(W_{G}amma)$ to a skew extension of $Bbbk[a,b]$. We show that the image of $Phi$ is contained in a (double) idealizer subring of this skew extension and that the representation theory of idealizers explains the three families. We further show that the image of $U(W_{G}amma)$ under $Phi$ is not left or right noetherian, giving a new proof that $U(W_{G}amma)$ is not noetherian. We construct $Phi$ as an application of a general technique to create ring homomorphisms from shift-invariant families of modules. Let $G$ be an arbitrary group and let $A$ be a $G$-graded ring. A graded $A$-module $M$ is an intermediate series module if $M_g$ is one-dimensional for all $ginG$. Given a shift-invariant family of intermediate series $A$-modules parametrised by a scheme $X$, we construct a homomorphism $Phi$ from $A$ to a skew-extension of $Bbbk[X]$. The kernel of $Phi$ consists of those elements which annihilate all modules in $X$.
