Description

The determinant of the contravariant form on highest-weight Verma module representations of extended algebras related to su(n) can be factorised. Some technical problems and results are presented which allow the representation theory of the su(3) algebra to be deduced in the non-degenerate case, 0<c<2. (orig.)
