Abstract

We announce the main results of our paper [5] on the structure of the standard modules for the affine Lie algebra A1 (1) in the “homogeneous picture”. This study, already begun in [4], was stimulated by the investigation [6] of the structure of the standard A1 (1) -modules in the “principal picture”. For detailed background and references, these papers and [1], [2], [7] and [8] should be consulted.
