We define Whittaker modules for a class of graded Lie algebras and obtain a bijective correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of Whittaker modules and the set of ideals of a polynomial ring, parallel to a result from the classical setting and the case of the Virasoro algebra. As a consequence of this, we obtain a classification of simple Whittaker modules for such algebras. Also, we study some concrete algebras as examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-04T14:04:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10", "17B10", "17B68" ], "keywords": [ "graded lie algebras", "simple whittaker modules", "define whittaker modules", "study whittaker modules", "isomorphism classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.3801W" } } }
