Modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter Algebras and matrix equations

Abstract

The all Rota-Baxter algebra structures on the polynomial algebra $R=\mathbf{k}[x]$ are well known. We study the finite dimensional modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter algebras $(\bfk[x],P)$ or $(x\mathbf{k}[x],P)$ of weight nonzero since some cases of weight zero have been studied. The main result shows that every module over the polynomial Rota-Baxter algebra $(\bfk[x],P)$ or $(x\mathbf{k}[x],P)$ is equivalent to the modules over a plane $\mathbf{k}⟨x,y⟩/I$ where $I$ is some ideal of free algebra $\mathbf{k}⟨x,y⟩$. Furthermore, we provide the classification of modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter algebras of weight nonzero through solution to some matrix equation.
