Verma Modules over Quantum Torus Lie Algebras

Representations of various one-dimensional central extensions of quantum tori (called quantum torus Lie algebras) were studied by several authors. Now we define a central extension of quantum tori so that all known representations can be regarded as representations of the new quantum torus Lie algebras . The center of now is generally infinite dimensional.In this paper, Z-graded Verma modules over and their corresponding irreducible highest weight modules are defined for some linear functions . Necessary and sufficient conditions for to have all finite dimensional weight spaces are given. Also necessary and sufficient conditions for Verma modules e to be irreducible are obtained.
