Finite-dimensional representations for a class of generalized intersection matrix Lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we study a class of generalized intersection matrix Lie algebras $\gim(M_n)$, and prove that its every finite-dimensional semi-simple quotient is of type $M(n,{\bf a}, {\bf c},{\bf d})$. Particularly, any finite dimensional irreducible $\gim(M_n)$ module must be an irreducible module of $M(n,{\bf a}, {\bf c},{\bf d})$ and any finite dimensional irreducible $M(n,{\bf a}, {\bf c},{\bf d})$ module must be an irreducible module of $\gim(M_n)$.
