Classification of finite irreducible conformal modules over a class of Lie conformal algebras of Block type

Abstract

We classify finite irreducible conformal modules over a class of infinite Lie conformal algebras B(p) of Block type, where p is a nonzero complex number. In particular, we obtain that a finite irreducible conformal module over B(p) may be a nontrivial extension of a finite conformal module over Vir if p=−1, where Vir is a Virasoro conformal subalgebra of B(p). As a byproduct, we also obtain the classification of finite irreducible conformal modules over a series of finite Lie conformal algebras b(n) for n≥1.
