The Polynomial Modules over Quantum Group Uq(sl3)

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] has a [Formula: see text]-module structure if and only if [Formula: see text] is of type [Formula: see text] or of type [Formula: see text]; this is called the polynomial module of rank one. In the quantum version, the rank one polynomial modules over [Formula: see text] have been classified. In this paper, we prove that the quantum group [Formula: see text] has no rank one polynomial module.
