Abstract

For a field FF of characteristic zero and an additive subgroup GG of FF, a Lie algebra B(G)B(G) of lock type is defined with basis {La,i,caG,i>2}\{L_{a,i},c|a \in G, i>-2\} and relations [La,i,Lb,j]=((i+1)b(j+1)a)La+b,i+j+a\da,b\di+j,2c,[c,La,i]=0.[L_{a,i},L_{b,j}]=((i+1)b-(j+1)a)L_{a+b,i+j}+a\d_{a,-b}\d_{i+j,-2}c, [c,L_{a,i}]=0. Given a total order \succ on GG compatible with its group structure, and any ΛB(G)0\Lambda\in B(G)_0^*, a Verma B(G)B(G)-module M(Λ,)M(\Lambda,\succ) is defined, and the irreducibility of M(Λ,)M(\Lambda,\succ) is completely determined. Furthermore, it is proved that an irreducible highest weight B(Z)B(Z)-module is quasifinite if and only if it is a proper quotient of a Verma module.
