Abstract

Let gm=sl(2)V(m)\mathfrak{g}_m=\mathfrak{sl}(2)\ltimes V(m), m1m\ge 1, where V(m)V(m) is the irreducible sl(2)\mathfrak{sl}(2)-module of dimension m+1m+1 viewed as an abelian Lie algebra. It is known that the isomorphism classes of uniserial gm\mathfrak{g}_m-modules consist of a family, say of type ZZ, containing modules of arbitrary composition length, and some exceptional modules with composition length 4\le 4. Let VV and WW be two uniserial gm\mathfrak{g}_m-modules of type ZZ. In this paper we obtain the sl(2)\mathfrak{sl}(2)-module decomposition of soc(VW)\text{soc}(V\otimes W) by giving explicitly the highest weight vectors. It turns out that soc(VW)\text{soc}(V\otimes W) is multiplicity free. Roughly speaking, soc(VW)=soc(V)soc(W)\text{soc}(V\otimes W)=\text{soc}(V)\otimes \text{soc}(W) in half of the cases, and in these cases we obtain the full socle series of VWV\otimes W by proving that soct+1(VW)=i=0tsoci+1(V)soct+1i(W) \text{soc}^{t+1}(V\otimes W)=\sum_{i=0}^{t} \text{soc}^{i+1}(V)\otimes \text{soc}^{t+1-i}(W) for all t0t\ge0. As applications of these results, we obtain for which VV and WW, the space of gm\mathfrak{g}_m-module homomorphisms Homgm(V,W)\text{Hom}_{\mathfrak{g}_m}(V,W) is not zero, in which case is 1-dimensional. Finally we prove, for m2m\ne 2, that if UU is the tensor product of two uniserial gm\mathfrak{g}_m-modules of type ZZ, then the factors are determined by UU. We provide a procedure to identify the factors from UU.
