Classification of Simple Weight Modules for the Neveu–Schwarz Algebra with a Finite-Dimensional Weight Space

Abstract

We show that the support of a simple weight module over the Neveu–Schwarz algebra, which has an infinite-dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such module are infinite-dimensional. As a corollary we obtain that every simple weight module over the Neveu–Schwarz algebra, having a nontrivial finite-dimensional weight space, is a Harish–Chandra module (and hence is either a highest or lowest weight module, or else a module of the intermediate series). This result generalizes a theorem which was originally given on the Virasoro algebra.
