Irreducibility conjecture for Wakimoto modules with Whittaker Heisenberg factors
Irreducibility conjecture for Wakimoto modules with Whittaker Heisenberg factors
Let be the Lie algebra under consideration, let be its Cartan subalgebra, and let be a non-critical invariant bilinear form with corresponding affine level . Let be the Weyl vertex algebra associated with the negative nilpotent part of , and let be a Whittaker, non-highest-weight module for the Heisenberg vertex algebra . Via the Frenkel–Feigin homomorphism, regard as a module over the universal affine vertex algebra . The Wakimoto irreducibility conjecture. If is non-critical, then
is an irreducible -module. This extends the known generic highest-weight irreducibility results to non-highest-weight Whittaker modules; determining irreducibility at non-critical levels is the main question proposed here, while the critical-level analogues are connected with the Kac–Kazhdan conjecture.
