First, we give a natural construction of irreducible weight representations for $U_{q}(f_{m}(K))$ using methods in spectral theory developed by Rosenberg. Second, we study the Whittaker model for the center of $U_{q}(f_{m}(K))$. As a result, the structure of Whittaker representations is determined, and all irreducible Whittaker representations are explicitly constructed. Finally, we prove that the annihilator of a Whittaker representation is centrally generated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-03-26T22:54:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B37", "16B30", "16B35" ], "keywords": [ "quantum groups", "constructing irreducible representations", "natural construction", "irreducible weight representations", "construct families" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....10896T" } } }
