A class of graded conformal algebras which is induced by Heisenberg-Virasoro conformal algebra

In this paper, we obtain a class of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded conformal algebras which is induced by Heisenberg-Virasoro conformal algebra. More precisely, we classify $\mathbb{Z}$-graded conformal algebras $\mathcal{A} = \oplus^\infty_{i=-1}\mathcal{A}_i$ satisfying the following conditions, (C1) $\mathcal{A}_0$ is the Heisenberg-Virasoro conformal algebra; C2) Each $\mathcal{A}_i$ for $i\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge-1}^*$ is an $\mathcal{A}_0$-module of rank one; (C3) $[{X_{-1}}_λX_i]\neq 0$ for $i\ge 0$, where $X_i$ is any one of $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-generators of $\mathcal{A}_i$ for $i\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge -1}$. Further, we prove that all finite nontrivial irreducible modules of these algebras under some special conditions are free of rank one as a $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-module. The conformal derivations of this class of graded Lie conformal algebras are also determined.
