Abstract: In a paper by Xu, some simple Lie algebras of generalized Cartan type were constructed, using the mixtures of grading operators and down-grading operators. Among them, are the simple Lie algebras of generalized Witt type, which are in general nongraded and have no torus. In this paper, some representations of these simple Lie algebras of generalized Witt type are presented.


The Lie algebras \(W(\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3,\Gamma)\) of generalized Witt type considered here were constructed by \textit{X. Xu} [J. Algebra 224, 23-58 (2000; Zbl 0955.17019)]. They are defined over an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb F\) of characteristic 0 by using the usual bracket on \(\mathcal A \otimes \mathcal D\) where \(\mathcal A\) is a commutative associative algebra with basis indexed by \(\Gamma\), a certain nondegenerate additive subgroup of \(\mathbb F^{\ell_2+\ell_3}\), and \(\mathbb Z_+^{\ell_1+\ell_2}\) for \(\mathbb Z_+\) the nonnegative integers, and \(\mathcal D\) is a certain algebra of derivations of \(\mathcal A\). The authors determine a certain wide class of representations of such Lie algebras.
