Weyl modules for multiloop algebras

Abstract: Global and local Weyl modules for the untwisted multiloop Lie algebras were defined by Chari, the first and the second author via homological properties. In this paper we extended the ideas to give a categorical definition of the Weyl modules for twisted multiloop algebras. Our methods led us to describe an identification of the finite--dimensional highest weight modules for twisted multiloop algebras with suitably chosen finite--dimensional highest weight modules for untwisted multiloop algebras.
