Representations of Simple Hom-Lie algebras

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study representations of simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras. First, we provide a new proof using Killing form for characterization theorem of simple Hom-Lie algebras given by Chen and Han, then discuss the representations structure of simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras. Moreover, we study weight modules and root space decompositions of simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras, characterize weight modules and provide examples of representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-type Hom-Lie algebras.
