A new interpretation of the Racah-Wigner $6j$-symbol and the classification of uniserial $sl(2)⋉V(m)$-modules

Abstract

All Lie algebras and representations will be assumed to be finite dimensional over the complex numbers. Let $V(m)$ be the irreducible $\sl(2)$-module with highest weight $m\ge 1$ and consider the perfect Lie algebra $\g=\sl(2)\ltimes V(m)$. Recall that a $\g$-module is uniserial when its submodules form a chain. In this paper we classify all uniserial $\g$-modules. The main family of uniserial $\g$-modules is actually constructed in greater generality for the perfect Lie algebra $\g=\s\ltimes V(μ)$, where $\s$ is a semisimple Lie algebra and $V(\mu )$ is the irreducible $\s$-module with highest weight $\mu \ne 0$. The fact that the members of this family are, but for a few exceptions of lengths 2, 3 and~4, the only uniserial $\sl(2)\ltimes V(m)$-modules depends in an essential manner on the determination of certain non-trivial zeros of Racah-Wigner $6j$-symbol.
