Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of graded-simple modules and gradings on simple modules over finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. In general, a connection between these two objects is given by the so-called loop construction. We review the main features of this construction as well as necessary and sufficient conditions under which finite-dimensional simple modules can be graded. Over the Lie algebra sl2(C), we consider specific gradings on simple modules of arbitrary dimension.

Highlights

  • We start this paper by reviewing the criteria of [12, 13, 8] for the existence of a compatible grading on a finite-dimensional simple module V

  • We focus on the case L = sl2(C), where we give explicit gradings for those V that admit them. After this we switch to infinite-dimensional simple sl2(C)-modules

  • We turn our attention to reviewing the main results of [14]. Therein, it is described how the so-called loop construction could be used for the classification of graded-simple modules of arbitrary dimension

Summary

Introduction

We restrict ourselves to the case where L is a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and focus on simple L-modules. We start this paper by reviewing the criteria of [12, 13, 8] for the existence of a compatible grading on a finite-dimensional simple module V. We focus on the case L = sl2(C), where we give explicit gradings for those V that admit them After this we switch to infinite-dimensional simple sl2(C)-modules. We turn our attention to reviewing the main results of [14] Therein, it is described how the so-called loop construction could be used for the classification of graded-simple modules of arbitrary dimension.
