For a simple Lie algebra, over $\mathbb{C}$, we consider the weight which is the sum of all simple roots and denote it $\tilde{\alpha}$. We formally use Kostant's weight multiplicity formula to compute the "dimension" of the zero-weight…

Even though weight multiplicity formulas, such as Kostant's formula, exist their computational use is extremely cumbersome. In fact, even in cases when the multiplicity is well understood, the number of terms considered in Kostant's formula…

Consider the weight $\lambda$ which is the sum of all simple roots of a simple Lie algebra. Using Kostant's weight multiplicity formula we describe and enumerate the contributing terms to the multiplicity of the zero weight in the…

Let $L((n-\tfrac 3 2)\Lambda_0)$, $n \in \Bbb N$, be a vertex operator algebra associated to the irreducible highest weight module $L((n-\tfrac 3 2)\Lambda_0)$ for a symplectic affine Lie algebra. We find a complete set of irreducible…

In this paper, we investigate the Lie algebra structures of weight one subspaces of $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator superalgebras. We also show that for any positive integer $k$, vertex operator superalgebras $L_{sl(1|n+1)}(k,0)$ and…

For integral weights $\lambda$ and $\mu$ of a classical simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, Kostant's weight multiplicity formula gives the multiplicity of the weight $\mu$ in the irreducible representation with highest weight $\lambda$,…

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…

We study the problem of indecomposability of translations of simple modules in the principal block of BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$, as conjectured in \cite{KiM}. We describe some general techniques and prove a few…

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…

Block type Lie algebras have been studied by many authors in the latest twenty years. In this paper, we will study a class of more general Block type Lie algebra $\mathcal{B}(p,q)$, which is a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra by…

Let $V_n=<e_1,...,e_{n+1}>$ be a vector products n-Lie algebra with n-Lie commutator $[e_1,...,\hat{e_i},...,e_{n+1}]=(-1)^ie_i$ over the field of complex numbers. Any finite-dimensional n-Lie $V_n$-module is completely reducible. Any…

In this paper, we study a class of infinite simple Lie conformal algebras associated to a class of generalized Block type Lie algebras. The central extensions, conformal derivations and free intermediate series modules of this class of Lie…

Given a reductive Lie algebra over the complex numbers, we introduce a family of category which generalises the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$. We also classify the simple modules for some of these categories and prove a semisimplicity result.

This is a survey paper presenting the history and both old and new results related to Kostant's problem. This problem asks for which modules over a semi-simple finite dimensional complex Lie algebra, the universal enveloping algebra…

This article supplements recent work of the authors. (1) A criterion for failure of covariant finiteness of a full subcategory of $\Lambda\text{-mod}$ is given, where $\Lambda$ is a finite dimensional algebra. The criterion is applied to…

We compute projective dimension of translated simple modules in the regular block of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ in terms of Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics. This allows us to determine which projectives can appear at the last step of a…

We prove the analog of Kostant's Theorem on Lie algebra cohomology in the context of quantum groups. We prove that Kostant's cohomology formula holds for quantum groups at a generic parameter $q$, recovering an earlier result of Malikov in…
