We use Arkhipov's twisting functors to show that the universal enveloping algebra of a semi-simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra surjects onto the space of ad-finite endomorphisms of the simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$,…

We give the first positive formulas for the weights of every simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$ over an arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra. Under a mild condition on the highest weight, we also express the weights of $L(\lambda)$ as an…

We give a complete combinatorial answer to Kostant's problem for simple highest weight modules indexed by fully commutative permutations. We also propose a reformulation of Kostant's problem in the context of fiab bicategories and classify…

We generalize the results of [KMST] concerning equivariant quantization by means of Verma modules $M(\lambda)$ for generic weight $\lambda$ to the case of general $\lambda$. We consider the relationship between the Shapovalov form on an…

The problem of determining maximal ideals in universal affine vertex algebras is difficult for levels beyond admissible, since there are no simple character formulas which can be applied. Here we investigate when certain quotient $\mathcal…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex Kac-Moody algebra, with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$. Also fix a weight $\lambda\in\mathfrak{h}^*$. For $M(\lambda)\twoheadrightarrow V$ an arbitrary highest weight $\mathfrak{g}$-module, we provide a…

The authors proved that a Weyl module for a simple algebraic group is irreducible over every field if and only if the module is isomorphic to the adjoint representation for $E_{8}$ or its highest weight is minuscule. In this paper, we prove…

A famous result of Kostant states that the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple complex Lie algebra is a free module over its center. We prove an analogue of this result for a class of filtered algebras and apply it to show the…
