Abstract

Let K\mathbb K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let VV be a module over the polynomial ring K[x,y]\mathbb K[x,y]. The actions of xx and yy determine linear operators PP and QQ on VV as a vector space over K\mathbb K. Define the Lie algebra LV=KP,QVL_V=\mathbb K\langle P,Q\rangle \rightthreetimes V as the semidirect product of two abelian Lie algebras with the natural action of KP,Q\mathbb K\langle P,Q\rangle on VV. We show that if K[x,y]\mathbb K[x,y]-modules VV and WW are isomorphic or weakly isomorphic, then the corresponding associated Lie algebras LVL_V and LWL_W are isomorphic. The converse is not true: we construct two K[x,y]\mathbb K[x,y]-modules VV and WW of dimension 44 that are not weakly isomorphic but their associated Lie algebras are isomorphic. We characterize such pairs of K[x,y]\mathbb K[x, y]-modules of arbitrary dimension. We prove that indecomposable modules VV and WW with dimV=dimW7\dim V=\dim W\geq 7 are weakly isomorphic if and only if their associated Lie algebras LVL_V and LWL_W are isomorphic.
