Abstract

We discuss the representation theory of HfH_f, which is a deformation of the symplectic oscillator algebra sp(2n)hnsp(2n) \ltimes h_n, where hnh_n is the ((2n+1)-dimensional) Heisenberg algebra. We first look at a more general setup, involving an algebra with a triangular decomposition. Assuming the PBW theorem, and one other hypothesis, we show that the BGG category O\mathcal{O} is abelian, finite length, and self-dual. We decompose O\mathcal{O} as a direct sum of blocks \calo(\la)\calo(\la), and show that each block is a highest weight category. In the second part, we focus on the case HfH_f for n=1n=1, where we prove all these assumptions, as well as the PBW theorem.
