Irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras by differential operators

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

We describe a systematic method to construct arbitrary highest-weight modules, including arbitrary finite-dimensional representations, for any finite dimensional simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}. The Lie algebra generators are represented as first order differential operators in 12(dim⁡g−rank g)\frac{1}{2} \left(\dim \mathfrak{g} - \text{rank} \, \mathfrak{g}\right) variables. All rising generators e{\bf e} are universal in the sense that they do not depend on representation, the weights enter (in a very simple way) only in the expressions for the lowering operators f{\bf f}. We present explicit formulas of this kind for the simple root generators of all classical Lie algebras.
