Representation of indefinite Kac-Moody algebras

139 Views Asked by At

The Kac-Moody algebras are divided in three very distinct classes: finite-dimensional, affine and indefinite type.

  • For the first class the finite-dimensional representation theory is very known.
  • For the second one, it is not hard to see that we only have trivial representation.

Question: does exists finite-dimensional representations of any Kac-Moody algebra of indefinite type which is not trivial?

EDIT: After I posted the question, I realized that I know the answer, so I posted it.

The answer is NO. There is no finite-dimensional representation theory for indefinite type, since they are all simple.
