Abstract

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over C\mathbb{C}. A Y(g)\operatorname{Y}(\mathfrak{g})-module is said to be weight if it is a weight g\mathfrak{g}-module. We give a complete classification of simple weight modules for Y(sl2)\operatorname{Y}(\mathfrak{sl}_2) which admits a one-dimensional weight space. We prove that there are four classes of such modules: finite, highest weight, lowest weight and dense modules. Different from the classical sl2\mathfrak{sl}_{2} representation theory, we show that there exist a class of Y(sl2)\operatorname{Y}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2}) irreducible modules which have uniformly 2-dimensional weight spaces.
