Abstract

Let n2n\ge2 be an integer, Kn\mathcal{K}_n the Weyl algebra over the Laurent polynomial algebra An=C[x1±1,x2±1,...,xn±1]A_n=\mathbb{C} [x_1^{\pm1}, x_2^{\pm1}, ..., x_n^{\pm1}], and Sn\mathbb{S}_n the Lie algebra of divergence zero vector fields on an nn-dimensional torus. For any sln\mathfrak{sl}_n-module VV and any module PP over Kn\mathcal{K}_n, we define an Sn\mathbb{S}_n-module structure on the tensor product PVP\otimes V. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the Sn\mathbb{S}_n-modules PVP\otimes V to be simple are given, and an isomorphism criterion for nonminuscule Sn\mathbb{S}_n-modules is provided. More precisely, all nonminuscule Sn\mathbb{S}_n-modules are simple, and pairwise nonisomorphic. For minuscule Sn\mathbb{S}_n-modules, minimal and maximal submodules are concretely constructed.
