Classification of simple weight modules over the 1-spatial ageing algebra

Abstract

In this paper we use Block's classification of simple modules over the first Weyl algebra to obtain a complete classification of simple weight modules, in particular, of Harish-Chandra modules, over the 1-spatial ageing algebra age(1). Most of these modules have infinite dimensional weight spaces and so far the algebra age(1) is the only Lie algebra having simple weight modules with infinite dimensional weight spaces for which such a classification exists. As an application we classify all simple weight modules over the (1+1)-dimensional space-time Schrodinger algebra S that have a simple age(1)-submodule thus constructing many new simple weight S-modules.
