In this paper, we initiate the study of the set of poles of the rational currents defining the action of $Y_{\\hbar}(\\mathfrak{g})$ on an arbitrary finite-dimensional vector space $V$. We prove that this set is completely determined by the eigenvalues of the commuting Cartan currents of $Y_{\\hbar}(\\mathfrak{g})$, and therefore encodes the singularities of the components of the $q$-character of $V$. In type $\\mathsf{A}$, we explicitly determine the set of poles of every irreducible $V$ in terms of the roots of the underlying Drinfeld polynomials. In particular, our results yield a complete classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Yangian double in type $\\mathsf{A}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-14T13:25:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B37", "81R10" ], "keywords": [ "finite-dimensional representations", "finite-dimensional simple lie algebra", "arbitrary finite-dimensional vector space", "results yield", "drinfeld polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
