Abstract

For a positive integer nn, let An=C[t1±1,,tn±1,x1,,xn]A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_1^{\pm1},\ldots,t_n^{\pm1},x_1,\ldots,x_n] and gn=i=1nAndi\mathfrak{g}_n=\bigoplus_{i=1}^n A_nd_i, where di=titi+xid_i=t_i\frac{\partial}{\partial t_i} +\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}. We first determine when the tensor module T(P,V)=PVT(P,V)=P\otimes V is simple, where PP is a simple module over the Weyl type algebra DnD_n and VV is a simple gln\mathfrak{gl}_n-module. We then prove a canonical algebra isomorphism An#U(gn)DnU(m1,0Δ)A_n\#U(\mathfrak{g}_n)\cong D_n\otimes U(\mathfrak{m}_{\mathbf{1},\mathbf{0}}\Delta), and use it to show that every simple cuspidal gn\mathfrak{g}_n-module is isomorphic to a simple quotient of some T(An(λ),V)T(A_n(\lambda),V), where VV is a finite-dimensional simple gln\mathfrak{gl}_n-module.
