Abstract

Let An=C[ti±1, 1in]A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_i^{\pm1},~1\leq i\leq n] be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in nn-variables. Let μ=(μ1,,μn)\mu=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_n) be a generic vector in Cn\mathbb{C}^n and Γμ={μα,αZn}\Gamma_{\mu}=\{\mu\cdot\alpha,\alpha\in \mathbb{Z}^n\} where μα=i=1nμiαi\mu\cdot\alpha=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\mu_i\alpha_i for α=(α1,,αn)Zn\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)\in \mathbb{Z}^n. Denote by dμd_\mu the vector field: dμ=i=1nμitiddti.d_\mu=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\mu_it_i\frac{d}{dt_i}. In \cite{BiFu}, Y. Billig and V. Futorny introduce the solenoidal Lie algebra W(n)μ:=Andμ\mathbf{W}(n)_{\mu}:=A_nd_\mu, where the Lie structure is given by the commutators of vector fields. In the first part of this paper, we study the universal central extension of W(n)μ\mathbf{W}(n)_{\mu}. We obtain a rank nn Virasoro algebra called the solenoidal Virasoro algebra Vir(n)μ\mathbf{Vir}(n)_\mu. In the second part, we recall in the case of Vir(n)μ\mathbf{Vir}(n)_\mu, the well know Harich-Chandra modules for generalized Virasoro algebra studied in \cite{Su,Su1,LuZhao}. In the third part, we construct irreducible highest and lowest Vir(n)μ\mathbf{Vir}(n)_\mu-modules using triangular decomposition given by lexicographic order on Zn\mathbb{Z}^{n}. We prove that these modules are weight modules which have infinite dimensional weight spaces.
