    Drinfeld Functor and Finite-Dimensional Representations of Yangian

    Full text link
    We extend the results of Drinfeld on Drinfeld functor to the case l>n. We present the character of finite-dimensional representations of the Yangian Y(sl_n) in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials as a consequence.Comment: Latex2e, 17pages, corrected typo

    Rationality of admissible affine vertex algebras in the category O

    Full text link
    We study the vertex algebras associated with modular invariant representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras at fractional levels, whose simple highest weight modules are classified by Joseph's characteristic varieties. We show that an irreducible highest weight representation of a non-twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra at an admissible level k is a module over the associated simple affine vertex algebra if and only if it is an admissible representation whose integral root system is isomorphic to that of the vertex algebra itself. This in particular proves the conjecture of Adamovic and Milas on the rationality of admissible affine vertex algebras in the category O.Comment: Improved exposition, to appear in Duke Math.

    We prove the conjecture of Frenkel, Kac and Wakimoto on the existence of two-sided BGG resolutions of G-integrable admissible representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras at fractional levels. As an application we establish the semi-infintie analogue of the generalized Borel-Weil theorem for mimimal parabolic subalgebras which enables an inductive study of admissible representations.Comment: revised, to appear in Representation Theor

    Rationality of W-algebras: principal nilpotent cases

    Get PDF
    We prove the rationality of all the minimal series principal W-algebras discovered by Frenkel, Kac and Wakimoto in 1992, thereby giving a new family of rational and C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebras. A key ingredient in our proof is the study of Zhu's algebra of simple W-algebras via the quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. We show that the functor of taking Zhu's algebra commutes with the reduction functor. Using this general fact we determine the maximal spectrums of the associated graded of Zhu's algebra of all the admissible affine vertex algebras as well.Comment: revised, to appear in Annals of Mat
