Abstract

An irreducible weight module of an affine Kac-Moody algebra g\mathfrak{g} is called dense if its support is equal to a coset in h/Q\mathfrak{h}^{*}/Q. Following a conjecture of V. Futorny about affine Kac-Moody algebras g\mathfrak{g}, an irreducible weight g\mathfrak{g}-module is dense if and only if it is cuspidal (i.e. not a quotient of an induced module). The conjecture is confirmed for g=A2(1)\mathfrak{g}=A_{2}^{\left(1\right)}, A3(1)A_{3}^{\left(1\right)} andA4(1)A_{4}^{\left(1\right)} and a classification of the supports of the irreducible weight g\mathfrak{g}-modules obtained. For all An(1)A_{n}^{\left(1\right)} the problem is reduced to finding primitive elements for only finitely many cases, all lying below a certain bound. For the left-over finitely many cases an algorithm is proposed, which leads to the solution of Futorny's conjecture for the cases A2(1)A_{2}^{\left(1\right)} and A3(1)A_{3}^{\left(1\right)}. Yet, the solution of the case A4(1)A_{4}^{\left(1\right)} required additional combinatorics. For the proofs, a new category of hypoabelian Lie subalgebras, pre-prosolvable subalgebras, and a subclass thereof, quasicone subalgebras, is introduced and its tropical matrix algebra structure outlined.
