Classification of irreducible weight modules
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 50 (2000) no. 2, pp. 537-592

Let 𝔤 be a reductive Lie algebra and let 𝔥 be a Cartan subalgebra. A 𝔤-module M is called a weighted module if and only if M= λ M λ , where each weight space M λ is finite dimensional. The main result of the paper is the classification of all simple weight 𝔤-modules. Further, we show that their characters can be deduced from characters of simple modules in category 𝒪.

Soit 𝔤 une algèbre de Lie réductive et soit 𝔥 une sous-algèbre de Cartan. Un 𝔤-module M est dit module de poids si et seulement si il admet une décomposition M= λ M λ , où chaque espace de poids M λ est de dimension finie. Notre résultat principal est la classification de tous les 𝔤-modules de poids simples. Également, leurs caractères sont déduits de formules des caractères des modules simples de la catégorie 𝒪.
