Abstract

Let n≥2 be an integer, 𝕊n the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields on an n-dimensional torus, and 𝒦n the Weyl algebra over the Laurent polynomial algebra An=ℂ⁢[x1±1,x2±1,…,xn±1]. For any 𝔰⁢𝔩n-module V and any module P over 𝒦n, we define an 𝕊n-module structure on the tensor product P⊗V. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the 𝕊n-modules P⊗V to be simple are given, and an isomorphism criterion for nonminuscule 𝕊n-modules is provided. More precisely, all nonminuscule 𝕊n-modules are simple, and pairwise nonisomorphic. For minuscule 𝕊n-modules, minimal and maximal submodules are concretely determined.

Keywords: Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields; Weyl algebra; irreducible module; (non)minuscule module; density theorem
