Projections of Singular Vectors of Verma Modules over Rank 2 Kac-Moody Lie Algebras

We prove an explicit formula for a projection of singular vectors in the Verma module over a rank 2 Kac-Moody Lie algebra onto the universal enveloping algebra of the Heisenberg Lie algebra and of $sl_{2}$ (Theorem 3). The formula is derived from a more general but less explicit formula due to Feigin, Fuchs and Malikov [Funct. Anal. Appl. 20 (1986), no. 2, 103-113]. In the simpler case of $A_{1}^{1}$ the formula was obtained in [Fuchs D., Funct. Anal. Appl. 23 (1989), no. 2, 154-156].

Laplacian spectrum for the nilpotent Kac-Moody Lie algebras

We prove that the maximal nilpotent subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra has an (essentially unique) Euclidean metric with respect to which the Laplace operator in the chain complex is scalar on each component of a given degree. Moreover, both the Lie algebra structure and the metric are uniquely determined by this property.
