Abstract

Let G(A) denote a generalized Kac Moody Lie algebra associated to a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix A. In this paper, we study on representations of G(A). Highest weight modules and the category O are described. In the main theorem we show that some G(A) modules from the category O are completely reducible. Also a criterion for irreducibility of highest weight modules is obtained. This was proved in [3] for the case of Kac Moody Lie algebras.
