New families of irreducible weight modules over $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}$ (1612.08652v1)

Abstract: Let $n>1$ be an integer, $\alpha\in{\mathbb C}^n$, $b\in{\mathbb C}$, and $V$ a $\mathfrak{gl}n$-module. We define a class of weight modules $F^\alpha{b}(V)$ over $\sl_{n+1}$ using the restriction of modules of tensor fields over the Lie algebra of vector fields on $n$-dimensional torus. In this paper we consider the case $n=2$ and prove the irreducibility of such 5-parameter $\mathfrak{sl}{3}$-modules $F^\alpha{b}(V)$ generically. All such modules have infinite dimensional weight spaces and lie outside of the category of Gelfand-Tsetlin modules. Hence, this construction yields new families of irreducible $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}$-modules.
