In this paper the authors consider four questions of primary interest for the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups: (i) Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture, (ii) the Humphreys-Verma Question, (iii) whether $\operatorname{St}_r…

A class of highest weight irreducible representations of the quantum algebra U_h(gl_\infty) is constructed. Within each module a basis is introduced and the transformation relations of the basis under the action of the Chevalley generators…

A highest weight theory for a finite W-algebra U(g,e) was developed in [BGK]. This leads to a strategy for classifying the irreducible finite dimensional U(g,e)-modules. The highest weight theory depends on the choice of a parabolic…

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…

We use recent results of Rolen, Zwegers, and the first author to study characters of irreducible (highest weight) modules for the vertex operator algebra $L_{\frak{sl}_\ell}(-\Lambda_0)$. We establish asymptotic behaviors of characters for…

We classify all irreducible highest-weight unitary modules over the non-compact real form $\mathfrak{u}(p,q|n)$ of the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{p+q|n}$. The classification is given by explicit necessary and sufficient…

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…

We study the representation theory of the N=1 super Heisenberg-Virasoro vertex algebra at level zero, which extends the previous work on the Heisenberg-Virasoro vertex algebra arXiv:math/0201314, arXiv:1405.1707 and arXiv:1703.00531 to the…

Singular vectors of a representation of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra are weight vectors in the underlying module that are nullified by positive root vectors. In this article, we use partial differential equations to find all the…

The relaxed highest weight representations introduced by Feigin et al. are a class of representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\hat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}$, which do not have a highest (or lowest) weight. We formulate a generalization of…

In the theory of finite groups, the irreducible representations of G over a field F are classified into blocks based on a direct decompositions of the group algebra FG. This gives a natural decomposition of FG-modules into direct summands,…
