Almost multiplicity-one property of spherical varieties over finite fields

Let $H$ be a connected algebraic subgroup of a connected reductive group $G$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ such that $G/H$ is a $G$-spherical variety, i.e., $G/H$ has an open dense $B$-orbit for each Borel subgroup $B$ of $G$. We formulate, for the pair $(G,H)$, an almost multiplicity-one property. Then we establish a criterion for this property in terms of the $B$-stabilizers on $G/H$. In particular, we will see that this property is analogous to the strongly tempered condition in characteristic $0$.

Whittaker modules over the loop Virasoro algebra

In this paper, we first study two classes of Whittaker modules over the loop Witt algebra ${\mathfrak g}:=\mathcal{W}\otimes\mathcal{A}$, where $\mathcal{W}=\text{Der}({\mathbb{C}}[t])$, $\mathcal{A}={\mathbb{C}}[t,t^{-1}]$. The necessary and sufficient conditions for these Whittaker modules being simple are determined. Furthermore, we study a family of Whittaker modules over the loop Virasoro algebra $\mathfrak{L}:=Vir\otimes\mathcal{A}$, where $Vir$ is the Virasoro algebra. The irreducibility criterion for these Whittaker modules are obtained. As an application, we give the irreducibility criterion for universal Whittaker modules of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_{2}}$.

Non-weight modules over gap-$p$ Virasoro algebras

In this paper, we study non-weight modules over gap-$p$ Virasoro algebras, including Whittaker modules, $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} L_0)$-free modules and their tensor products. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for universal Whittaker modules to be irreducible and study the structure of irreducible Whittaker modules. The $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} L_0)$-free modules of rank 1 are classified and the irreducibility of such modules are determined. Moreover, the irreducibility of tensor products of $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} L_0)$-free modules of rank 1 and irreducible restricted modules is also determined.

Quantum vertex algebra associated to quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_N$

In this paper, we associate the quantum toroidal algebra $\mathcal{E}_N$ of type $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ with quantum vertex algebra through equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules. More precisely, for every $\ell\in \mathbb{C}$, by deforming the universal affine vertex algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_\infty$, we construct an $\hbar$-adic quantum $\Z$-vertex algebra $V_{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{\infty},\hbar}(\ell,0)$. Then we prove that the category of restricted $\mathcal{E}_N$-modules of level $\ell$ is canonically isomorphic to that of equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi $V_{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{\infty},\hbar}(\ell,0)$-modules.

A characterization of minimal extended affine root systems (Relations to Elliptic Lie Algebras)

Extended affine root systems appear as the root systems of extended affine Lie algebras. A subclass of extended affine root systems, whose elements are called ``minimal" turns out to be of special interest mostly because of the geometric properties of their Weyl groups; they possess the so-called ``presentation by conjugation". In this work, we characterize minimal extended affine root systems in terms of ``minimal reflectable bases" which resembles the concept of the ``base" for finite and affine root systems. As an application, we construct elliptic Lie algebras by means of Serre's type generators and relations.

Twisted quantum affine algebras and equivariant $\phi$-coordinated modules for quantum vertex algebras

This paper is about establishing a natural connection of quantum affine algebras with quantum vertex algebras. Among the main results, we establish $\hbar$-adic versions of the smash product construction of quantum vertex algebras and their $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules, which were obtained before in a sequel, we construct a family of $\hbar$-adic quantum vertex algebras $V_L[[\hbar]]^{\eta}$ as deformations of the lattice vertex algebras $V_L$, and establish a natural connection between twisted quantum affine algebras of type $A, D, E$ and equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for the $\hbar$-adic quantum vertex algebras $V_L[[\hbar]]^{\eta}$ with certain specialized $\eta$.

Trigonometric Lie algebras, affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, and equivariant quasi modules for vertex algebras

In this paper, we study a family of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras $\widehat{X}_{S}$, where $X$ stands for the type: $A,B,C,D$, and $S$ is an abelian group, which generalize the $A,B,C,D$ series of trigonometric Lie algebras. Among the main results, we identify $\widehat{X}_{S}$ with what are called the covariant algebras of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathcal{L}_{S}}$ with respect to some automorphism groups, where $\mathcal{L}_{S}$ is an explicitly defined associative algebra viewed as a Lie algebra. We then show that restricted $\widehat{X}_{S}$-modules of level $\ell$ naturally correspond to equivariant quasi modules for affine vertex algebras related to $\mathcal{L}_{S}$. Furthermore, for any finite cyclic group $S$, we completely determine the structures of these four families of Lie algebras, showing that they are essentially affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras of certain types.

A unified construction of vertex algebras from infinite-dimensional Lie algebras

In this paper, we give a unified construction of vertex algebras arising from infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, including the affine Kac-Moody algebras, Virasoro algebras, Heisenberg algebras and their higher rank analogs, orbifolds and deformations. We define a notion of what we call quasi vertex Lie algebra to unify these Lie algebras. Starting from any (maximal) quasi vertex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we construct a corresponding vertex Lie algebra ${\mathfrak{g}}_0$, and establish a canonical isomorphism between the category of restricted $\mathfrak{g}$-modules and that of equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi $V_{{\mathfrak{g}}_0}$-modules, where $V_{{\mathfrak{g}}_0}$ is the universal enveloping vertex algebra of ${\mathfrak{g}}_0$. This unified all the previous constructions of vertex algebras from infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and shed light on the way to associate vertex algebras with Lie algebras.

Extended affine Lie algebras, vertex algebras and equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules

For any nullity $2$ extended affine Lie algebra $\mathcal{E}$ of maximal type and $\ell\in\mathbb{C}$, we prove that there exist a vertex algebra $V_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$ and an automorphism group $G$ of $V_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$ equipped with a linear character $\chi$, such that the category of restricted $\mathcal{E}$-modules of level $\ell$ is canonically isomorphic to the category of $(G,\chi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi $V_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$-modules. Moreover, when $\ell$ is a nonnegative integer, there is a quotient vertex algebra $L_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$ of $V_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$ modulo by a $G$-stable ideal, and we prove that the integrable restricted $\mathcal{E}$-modules of level $\ell$ are exactly the $(G,\chi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi $L_{\mathcal{E}}(\ell)$-modules.

$(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated modules for vertex algebras

To give a unified treatment on the association of Lie algebras and vertex algebras, we study $(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for vertex algebras, where $G$ is a group with $\chi_\phi$ a linear character of $G$ and $\phi$ is an associate of the one-dimensional additive formal group. The theory of $(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for nonlocal vertex algebra is established in \cite{JKLT}. In this paper, we concentrate on the context of vertex algebras. We establish several conceptual results, including a generalized commutator formula and a general construction of vertex algebras and their $(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules. Furthermore, for any conformal algebra $\mathcal{C}$, we construct a class of Lie algebras $\widehat{\mathcal{C}}_\phi[G]$ and prove that restricted $\widehat{\mathcal{C}}_\phi[G]$-modules are exactly $(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for the universal enveloping vertex algebra of $\mathcal{C}$. As an application, we determine the $(G,\chi_\phi)$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for affine and Virasoro vertex algebras.

Toroidal extended affine Lie algebras and vertex algebras

In this paper, we study nullity-2 toroidal extended affine Lie algebras in the context of vertex algebras and their $\phi$-coordinated modules. Among the main results, we introduce a variant of toroidal extended affine Lie algebras, associate vertex algebras to the variant Lie algebras, and establish a canonical connection between modules for toroidal extended affine Lie algebras and $\phi$-coordinated modules for these vertex algebras. Furthermore, by employing some results of Billig, we obtain an explicit realization of irreducible modules for the variant Lie algebras.

Deforming vertex algebras by vertex bialgebras

This is a continuation of a previous study initiated by one of us on nonlocal vertex bialgebras and smash product nonlocal vertex algebras. In this paper, we study a notion of right $H$-comodule nonlocal vertex algebra for a nonlocal vertex bialgebra $H$ and give a construction of deformations of vertex algebras with a right $H$-comodule nonlocal vertex algebra structure and a compatible $H$-module nonlocal vertex algebra structure. We also give a construction of $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for smash product nonlocal vertex algebras. As an example, we give a family of quantum vertex algebras by deforming the vertex algebras associated to non-degenerate even lattices.

$(G,\chi_{\phi})$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for nonlocal vertex algebras

In this paper, we study $(G,\chi_{\phi})$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for nonlocal vertex algebras. Among the main results, we establish several conceptual results, including a generalized commutator formula and a general construction of weak quantum vertex algebras and their $(G,\chi_{\phi})$-equivariant $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules. As an application, we also construct (equivariant) $\phi$-coordinated quasi modules for lattice vertex algebras by using Lepowsky's work on twisted vertex operators.

Twisted quantum affinizations and quantization of extended affine Lie algebras

In this paper, for an arbitrary Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a diagram automorphism $\mu$ of $\mathfrak g$ satisfying certain natural linking conditions, we introduce and study a $\mu$-twisted quantum affinization algebra $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$ of $\mathfrak g$. When $\mathfrak g$ is of finite type, $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$ is Drinfeld's current algebra realization of the twisted quantum affine algebra. When $\mu=\mathrm{id}$ and $\mathfrak g$ in affine type, $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$ is the quantum toroidal algebra introduced by Ginzburg, Kapranov and Vasserot. As the main results of this paper, we first prove a triangular decomposition for $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$. Second, we give a simple characterization of the affine quantum Serre relations on restricted $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$-modules in terms of "normal order products". Third, we prove that the category of restricted $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$-modules is a monoidal category and hence obtain a topological Hopf algebra structure on the "restricted completion" of $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$. Last, we study the classical limit of $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)$ and abridge it to the quantization theory of extended affine Lie algebras. In particular, based on a classification result of Allison-Berman-Pianzola, we obtain the $\hbar$-deformation of all nullity $2$ extended affine Lie algebras.

Extended affine Lie algebras, vertex algebras, and reductive groups

In this paper, we explore natural connections among the representations of the extended affine Lie algebra $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q)$ with $\mathbb{C}_q=\mathbb{C}_q[t_0^{\pm1},t_1^{\pm1}]$ an irrational quantum 2-torus, the simple affine vertex algebra $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)$ with $\ell$ a positive integer, and Levi subgroups $G$ of $GL_\ell(\mathbb{C})$. First, we give a canonical isomorphism between the category of integrable restricted $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q)$-modules of level $\ell$ and that of equivariant quasi $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)$-modules. Second, we classify irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded equivariant quasi $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)$-modules. Third, we establish a duality between irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded equivariant quasi $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)$-modules and irreducible regular $G$-modules on certain fermionic Fock spaces. Fourth, we obtain an explicit realization of every irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded equivariant quasi $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)$-module. Fifth, we completely determine the following branchings: 1 The branching from $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell,0)\otimes L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell',0)$ to $L_{\widehat{sl_{\infty}}}(\ell+\ell',0)$ for quasi modules. 2 The branching from $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q)$ to its Levi subalgebras. 3 The branching from $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q)$ to its subalgebras $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q[t_0^{\pm M_0},t_1^{\pm M_1}])$.

Drinfeld type presentations of loop algebras

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the derived subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra of finite type or affine type, $\mu$ a diagram automorphism of $\mathfrak{g}$ and $L(\mathfrak{g},\mu)$ the loop algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$ associated to $\mu$. In this paper, by using the vertex algebra technique, we provide a general construction of current type presentations for the universal central extension $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}[\mu]$ of $L(\mathfrak{g},\mu)$. The construction contains the classical limit of Drinfeld's new realization for (twisted and untwisted) quantum affine algebras ([Dr]) and the Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation for toroidal Lie algebras ([MRY]) as special examples. As an application, when $\mathfrak{g}$ is of simply-laced type, we prove that the classical limit of the $\mu$-twisted quantum affinization of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra associated to $\mathfrak{g}$ introduced in [CJKT1] is the universal enveloping algebra of $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}[\mu]$.
