Abstract

Let d ≥ 1 be an integer and let 𝒲 d be the Witt algebra. For any admissible 𝒲 d -module P and any 𝔤 ⁢ 𝔩 d -module V, one can form a 𝒲 d -module ℱ ⁢ ( P , V ) , which as a vector space is P ⊗ V . Since 𝒲 d has a natural subalgebra isomorphic to 𝔰 ⁢ 𝔩 d + 1 , we can view ℱ ⁢ ( P , V ) as an 𝔰 ⁢ 𝔩 d + 1 -module. Taking P = Ω ⁢ ( 𝝀 ) , the rank-1 U ⁢ ( 𝔥 ) -free 𝒲 d -module, and V = V ⁢ ( 𝐚 , b ) , the simple cuspidal module over 𝔤 ⁢ 𝔩 d , we get the special 𝔰 ⁢ 𝔩 d + 1 -modules

ℱ ⁢ ( 𝝀 ; 𝐚 , b ) = ℱ ⁢ ( Ω ⁢ ( 𝝀 ) , V ⁢ ( 𝐚 , b ) )

which are U ⁢ ( 𝔥 ) -free modules of infinite rank. We determine the necessary and sufficient condition for the 𝔰 ⁢ 𝔩 d + 1 -module ℱ ⁢ ( 𝝀 ; 𝐚 , b ) to be simple, and for the non-simple case we construct their proper submodules explicitly. At last, using the above results, we deduce an explicit simplicity criterion for the generalized Verma modules induced from V ⁢ ( 𝐚 , b ) and obtain a family of simple affine modules from ℱ ⁢ ( 𝝀 ; 𝐚 , b ) , which can be viewed as the non-weight version of loop modules.
