Finite-dimensional irreducible representations of twisted loop algebras of the second kind

Abstract

Twisted loop algebras of the second kind are infinite-dimensional Lie algebras that are constructed from a semisimple Lie algebra and an automorphism on it of order at most $2$. They are examples of equivariant map algebras. The finite-dimensional irreducible representations of an arbitrary equivariant map algebra have been classified by Neher--Savage--Senesi. In this paper, we classify the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of twisted loop algebras of the second kind in a more elementary way.
