It is known that the isomorphism classes of uniserial $\\mathfrak{g}_m$-modules consist of a family, say of type $Z$, containing modules of arbitrary composition length, and some exceptional modules with composition length $\\le 4$. Let $V$ and $W$ be two uniserial $\\mathfrak{g}_m$-modules of type $Z$. In this paper we obtain the $\\mathfrak{sl}(2)$-module decomposition of $\\text{soc}(V\\otimes W)$ by giving explicitly the highest weight vectors. It turns out that $\\text{soc}(V\\otimes W)$ is multiplicity free. Roughly speaking, $\\text{soc}(V\\otimes W)=\\text{soc}(V)\\otimes \\text{soc}(W)$ in half of the cases, and in these cases we obtain the full socle series of $V\\otimes W$ by proving that $ \\text{soc}^{t+1}(V\\otimes W)=\\sum_{i=0}^{t} \\text{soc}^{i+1}(V)\\otimes \\text{soc}^{t+1-i}(W)$ for all $t\\ge0$. As applications of these results, we obtain for which $V$ and $W$, the space of $\\mathfrak{g}_m$-module homomorphisms $\\text{Hom}_{\\mathfrak{g}_m}(V,W)$ is not zero, in which case is 1-dimensional. Finally we prove, for $m\\ne 2$, that if $U$ is the tensor product of two uniserial $\\mathfrak{g}_m$-modules of type $Z$, then the factors are determined by $U$. We provide a procedure to identify the factors from $U$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-25T20:02:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10", "17B30", "22E27", "16G10" ], "keywords": [ "tensor product", "uniserial representations", "intertwining operators", "arbitrary composition length", "highest weight vectors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
