Weyl modules over multivariable currents

Author: Sergey Loktev (ITEP, Moscow)

Abstract

We discuss finite-dimensional representations of current algebras, that is, Lie algebras of polynomials in several variables with values in a reductive Lie algebra. Weyl modules are universal among finite-dimensional repsesentations, generated by a common eigenvector with respect to the action of currents with values in a Borel subalgebra.

We relate the space of diagonal harmonics and its generalizations to these modules and discuss the underlying combinatorics, involving a wide generalization of Catalan and Narayana numbers.
