Abstract: Let gg be a complex reductive Lie algebra and kksubsetgg be any reductive in gg subalgebra. We call a (gg,kk)-module M bounded if the kk-multiplicities of M are uniformly bounded. In this paper we initiate a general study of simple bounded (gg,kk)-modules. We prove a strong necessary condition for a subalgebra kk to be bounded (Corollary ef{cor1.6}), i.e. to admit an infinite-dimensional simple bounded (gg,kk)-module, and then establish a sufficient condition for a subalgebra kk to be bounded (Theorem ef{thGroups2}). As a result we are able to classify all maximal bounded reductive subalgebras of gg=sl(n). In the second half of the paper we describe in detail simple bounded infinite-dimensional (gg,sl(2))-modules, and in particular compute their characters and minimal sl(2)-types. We show that if sl(2) is a bounded subalgebra of gg which is not contained in a proper ideal of gg, then ggsimeqsl(2)oplussl(2),sl(3),sp(4); alltogether, up to conjugation there are five possible embeddings of sl(2) as a bounded subalgebra into gg as above. In two of these cases sl(2) is a symmetric subalgebra, and many results about simple bounded (gg,sl(2))-modules are known. A case where our results are entirely new is the case of a principal sl(2)-subalgebra in sp(4).
