Rational tori, semisimple orbits and the topology of hyperplane complements.
The category of all modules over a reductive complex Lie algebra is wild, and therefore it is useful to study full subcategories. For instance, Bernstein, Gelfand and Gelfand introduced a category of modules which provides a natural setting for highest weight modules. In this paper, we define a family of categories which generalizes the BGG category, and we classify the simple modules for a subfamily. As a consequence, we show that some of the obtained categories are semisimple.
We define and investigate Ringel-Hall algebras of coalgebras (usually infinite-dimensional). We extend Ringel's results [Banach Center Publ. 26 (1990) and Adv. Math. 84 (1990)] from finite-dimensional algebras to infinite-dimensional coalgebras.
