Abstract

We construct a new analogue of the BGG category O\mathcal O for the infinite-dimensional Lie algebras \fg=sl(),o(),sp()\fg=\mathfrak{sl}(\infty),\mathfrak{o}(\infty), \mathfrak{sp}(\infty). A main difference with the categories studied in \cite{Nam} and \cite{CP} is that all objects of our category satisfy the large annihilator condition introduced in \cite{DPS}. Despite the fact that the splitting Borel subalgebras \fb\fb of \fg\fg are not conjugate, one can eliminate the dependency on the choice of \fb\fb and introduce a universal highest weight category OLA\mathcal {OLA} of \fg\fg-modules, the letters LA\mathcal{LA} coming from "large annihilator". The subcategory of integrable objects in OLA\mathcal {OLA} is precisely the category T\fg\mathbb T_{\fg} studied in \cite{DPS}. We investigate the structure of OLA\mathcal {OLA}, and in particular compute the multiplicities of simple objects in standard objects and the multiplicities of standard objects in indecomposable injectives.
