A new method of constructing quasi-exactly solvable models of quantum mechanics is proposed. This method is based on the use of infinite-dimensional representations of simple and semi-simple Lie algebras.

Cartan Matrices

A well known result in the theory of Lie algebras, due to H. Zassenhaus, states that if is a finite dimensional Lie algebra over the field K such that the killing form of is non-degenerate, then the derivations of are all inner, [3, p. 74]. In particular, this applies to the finite dimensional split simple Lie algebras over fields of characteristic zero. In this paper we extend this result to a class of Lie algebras which generalize the split simple Lie algebras, and which are defined by Cartan matrices (for a definition see § 1). Because of the fact that the algebras we consider are usually infinite dimensional, the method we employ in our investigation is quite different from the standard one used in the finite dimensional case, and makes no reference to any associative bilinear form on the algebras.

Higher Spin Theory

Infinite-dimensional algebras associated with simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra g are considered. Higher-spin generalizations of sl(2) are studied in detail. Those of the Virasoro algebra are viewed as their "analytic continuations". Applications in higher-spin theory and in conformal QFT are discussed.

In this paper, we explore the possibility of endowing simple infinite-dimensional [Formula: see text]-modules by the structure of graded modules. The gradings on the finite-dimensional simple modules over simple Lie algebras have been studied in 7, 8.

Cartan Type

In a recent paper [2] we defined four classes of infinite dimensional simple Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 0 which we called W*, S*, H*, and K*. As the names suggest, these classes generalize the Lie algebras of Cartan type. A second paper [3] investigates the derivations of the algebras W* and S*, and the possible isomorphisms between these algebras and the algebras defined by Block [1]. In the present paper we investigate the automorphisms of the algebras of type W*.
