Abstract Let χ be a Banach space of dimension n > 1 and

We classify irreducible Whittaker modules for generalized Heisenberg Lie algebra t and irreducible Whittaker modules for Lie algebra t̃ obtained by adjoining m degree derivations d1, d2, . . . , dm to t. Using these results, we construct imaginary Whittaker modules for non-twisted extended affine Lie algebras and prove that the imaginary Whittaker modules of Z-independent level are always irredu...

An irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra can be a direct summand of its own tensor square. In this case, the representation admits a nonassociative algebra structure which is invariant in the sense that the Lie algebra acts as derivations. We study this situation for the Lie algebra sl(2).

McGrail (2000) has shown the existence of a model completion for the universal theory of fields on which a finite number of commuting derivations act and, independently, Yaffe (2001) has shown the existence of a model completion for the univeral theory of fields on which a fixed Lie algebra acts as derivations. We show how to derive the second result from the first.
