Abstract

Let DerA be the Lie algebra of derivations of the d-torus \( A = \mathbb{C}[t_1^{ \pm 1} ,...,t_d^{ \pm 1} ] \). By applying Shen-Larsson’s functors we get a class of indecomposable DerA-modules from finite-dimensional indecomposable gl d -modules. We also give a complete description of the submodules of these indecomposable DerA-modules. Our results generalize those obtained by Rao.
