Representations of Lie algebras of vector fields on affine varieties

Abstract

For an irreducible affine variety XX over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we define two new classes of modules over the Lie algebra of vector fields on XX - gauge modules and Rudakov modules, which admit a compatible action of the algebra of functions. Gauge modules are generalizations of modules of tensor densities whose construction was inspired by non-abelian gauge theory. Rudakov modules are generalizations of a family of induced modules over the Lie algebra of derivations of a polynomial ring studied by Rudakov. We prove general simplicity theorems for these two types of modules and establish a pairing between them.
