A new class of irreducible modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra of type $A_1$

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a class of non-weight modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra of type $A_1$ by taking tensor products of a finite number of irreducible modules $M(\lambda, \alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ with irreducible highest weight modules $V(\eta, \epsilon, \theta)$. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for such tensor product modules to be irreducible, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such two modules to be isomorphic. We also compare these modules with other known non-weight modules, showing that these irreducible modules are new.
