Introduction
The main goal of this paper is to generalize some results relating local Weyl and Demazure modules for twisted current algebras, which are known to hold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, to the positive characteristic setting. Namely, in [CFS08, Theorem 2.i], it was proved that any local Weyl module for a twisted affine algebra is isomorphic to a certain restriction of a local Weyl module for the corresponding untwisted affine algebra. In [FK13, Theorem 6.0.2], it was proved that any graded local Weyl module for a twisted current algebra is isomorphic to a certain graded restriction of a graded local Weyl module for the corresponding untwisted current algebra. It is interesting to notice that these results were also obtained by [FKKS12, Lemma 3.8] in a more general framework of equivariant map algebras.
In the simply laced case, it was proved in [FL07, Proposition 2] that any local Weyl module for a current algebra is isomorphic to a certain automorphic image of a local Weyl module for the corresponding loop algebra. In [CP01], for \text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}, and in [CL06], for type , and [FL07, Theorem 7], for types ADE, both using the \text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}-case, it was proved that any local graded Weyl module for a current algebra is isomorphic to a certain restriction of a Demazure module for the corresponding affine algebra. This latter result was shown to be false in the non simply laced case. In fact, it was proved that local graded Weyl modules for current algebras admit Demazure flags in [Nao12, Proposition 4.18]. Finally, it was proved in [FK13, Theorem 5.0.2] that, under some somewhat restrictive conditions, any twisted graded local Weyl module for a current algebra is isomorphic to a certain twisted Demazure module.
Some positive characteristic generalizations of the results mentioned above are already known. For instance, it was proved in [BM14, Theorem 4.1] that any local Weyl module for a twisted hyper loop algebra is isomorphic to a certain restriction of a local Weyl module for the corresponding untwisted hyper loop algebra. In the simply laced case, it was proved in [BMM15, Theorem 1.5.2] that any local Weyl module for a hyper current algebra is isomorphic to a certain automorphic image of a local Weyl module for the corresponding hyper loop algebras, and that any local graded Weyl module for a current algebra is isomorphic to a certain restriction of a Demazure module for the corresponding affine algebra.
It is important to remark that, in the non simply laced case, it was proved in [BMM15, Theorem 1.5.2.b] that any local Weyl module for a hyper current algebra admits a Demazure flag. Since Dynkin diagrams associated to non simply laced simple Lie algebras admit only the trivial automorphism, the following claim is an immediate consequence of [BMM15, Theorem 1.5.2]: in the non simply laced case, every local graded Weyl module for a twisted hyper current algebra admits a Demazure flag, and moreover, it is isomorphic to a certain local Weyl module for the twisted hyperloop algebra.
Hence, our main goal in this paper is to prove the following result.
Theorem**.**
The local graded Weyl module of highest weight for a twisted hyper current algebra is isomorphic to the corresponding level 1 Demazure module. And, moreover, it is a restriction of the corresponding local graded Weyl module of highest weight for the untwisted hyper current algebra.
The proof of the first part is given in Theorem 4.2 and the proof of the second part is given in Theorem 4.3. Along the way, we also prove some results about local graded Weyl modules and Demazure modules for twisted hyper current algebras. For instance, in Lemma 3.2, we prove that integral local graded Weyl modules are integrable modules, and in Proposition 3.3, we prove that they are finitely generated. Also, in Proposition 3.8, we prove that the purely algebraic definition of a Demazure module given here reflects the usual geometric definition of Demazure modules.
In terms of equivariant map algebras, \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma} can be regarded as the Lie algebra of equivariant regular maps \varphi\colon\text{\mathbb{C}}\to\text{\mathfrak{g}} under the cyclic group generated by the automorphism . Here, the cyclic group generated by acts on as in Section 1.1 and on via multiplication by roots of unity. Observe that this latter action is not free, since 0\in\text{\mathbb{C}} is a fixed point. Thus, in the current paper, we are dealing with a case that is not covered by [FKKS12]. Moreover, we generalize some of the results in [FKKS12] to fields of positive characteristic (different from 2 in case \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n}).

In particular, \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} is a subalgebra of and \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\varepsilon} is a \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}-module for all . Moreover, it is known that \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} is a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\varepsilon} is a finite-dimensional irreducible \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}-module for all (see [Kac90, Chapter 8]).
If is a subalgebra of and , let \text{\mathfrak{a}}_{\varepsilon}:=\text{\mathfrak{a}}\cap\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\varepsilon}. It is known that \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0} is a Cartan subalgebra of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} and \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}=\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}_{0}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}_{0} is a triangular decomposition. Let denote the root system determined by \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}, and be an indexing set for the associated simple roots. The simple roots (resp. fundamental weights) of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} determined by the triangular decomposition \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}=\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}_{0}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}_{0} will be denoted by , (resp. , ), as this should cause no confusion. Let denote the highest root of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}, , , , . Let (resp. ) be the subset of corresponding to short (resp. long) positive roots of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}, and be the Weyl group of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}.

Let (resp. ) denote the set of weights of as an -module (resp. \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}-module). For each , denote by the set of weights of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\varepsilon} as a \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}-module (via the adjoint representation). It is known that , so let . Finally, denote by the highest weight of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{1} (as a \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}-module).
1.2. Chevalley basis of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}
Given and , it is known that: \mu=\alpha|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}} for some , and \alpha|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}=\beta|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}} if, and only if, for some .

Moreover, if is of type and , then \beta|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}\in R_{\operatorname{sh}} and (\beta+\sigma(\beta))|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}\in 2R_{\operatorname{sh}}. In this case, we have
[TABLE]
Since \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\varepsilon} is a finite-dimensional irreducible \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}-module, for all and , we have
[TABLE]
Choose a complete set of representatives of the orbits of the action of on . For each , let , where is such that \alpha|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}=\mu. Also, notice that there exists a unique injective map such that for all , and let . Thus
[TABLE]
is a basis of .
For notational convenience, if is such that \mu=\alpha|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}, let , and if , let . Also, if is of type , assume that is chosen in such a way that in (1.2). Moreover, if is of type and , let be the unique vertex fixed by , choose such that , and let . It has been proven by Kac that the set is a Chevalley basis of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} (see [Kac90, §8.3]).
Later in this paper, we shall need the following formulas of commutators of elements of , proved in [Bia12, Lemma 2.2.7]. For all , , , :

1.3. Current, loop and affine Kac-Moody algebras
Given a vector space , consider \text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}=\text{\mathfrak{a}}\otimes\mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}] and \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t]=\text{\mathfrak{a}}\otimes\mathbb{C}[t]. If (\text{\mathfrak{a}},[\cdot,\cdot]_{\text{\mathfrak{a}}}) is a Lie algebra, then there exists a unique bilinear map [\cdot,\cdot]\colon\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}\times\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}\to\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}} that satisfies
[TABLE]
and endows with a structure of Lie algebra. Notice that \text{\mathfrak{a}}\otimes\mathbb{C} is a subalgebra of \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t] isomorphic to , that \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t] is a subalgebra of , and that \text{\mathfrak{b}}[t] (resp. ) is a subalgebra of \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t] (resp. ) for all subalgebras \text{\mathfrak{b}}\subseteq\text{\mathfrak{a}}.
Fix an automorphism \sigma\colon\text{\mathfrak{a}}\to\text{\mathfrak{a}}. Denote the order of by and an -th primitive root of unity by . There exists a unique automorphism \tilde{\sigma}\colon\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}\to\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}} satisfying
[TABLE]
Notice that restricts to an automorphism of \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t] and that the order of is also . Let \text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}^{\sigma} and \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t]^{\sigma} denote the subalgebras of -fixed points; explicitly
[TABLE]
In particular, when \sigma={\rm id}_{\text{\mathfrak{a}}}, notice that \text{\mathfrak{a}}[t]^{\sigma}=\text{\mathfrak{a}}[t] and \text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}^{\sigma}=\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{a}}}.
Given a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra and a Dynkin diagram automorphism \sigma\colon\text{\mathfrak{g}}\to\text{\mathfrak{g}}, the associated twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra is the 2-dimensional extension of \text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma} given by \text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}:=\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma}\oplus\mathbb{C}c\oplus\mathbb{C}d, and endowed with the unique Lie bracket that satisfies
[TABLE]
for all x\otimes t^{r},y\otimes t^{s}\in\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma}. Denote by \text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime}=[\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}},\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}] the derived subalgebra of , notice that \text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime}=\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma}\oplus\mathbb{C}c and that we have a nonsplit short exact sequence of Lie algebras 0\to\mathbb{C}c\to\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime}\to\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma}\to 0.
Given a triangular decomposition \text{\mathfrak{g}}=\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{h}}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+} and a Chevalley basis , denote (\text{\mathfrak{h}}\oplus\mathbb{C}c) by \text{\mathfrak{h}}^{\prime}, (\text{\mathfrak{g}}\otimes t^{\pm 1}\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm 1}]) by \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]_{\pm}, and let
[TABLE]
A triangular decomposition of is given by \text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}=\text{\hat{\mathfrak{n}}}^{-}\oplus\text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}\oplus\text{\hat{\mathfrak{n}}}^{+}. The root system, set of positive and simple roots associated to this triangular decomposition will be denoted by , and respectively. Notice that
[TABLE]
Now, let , for \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n}, for \text{\mathfrak{g}}\not\cong A_{2n}, , and notice that is a basis of . Identify \text{\mathfrak{h}}^{*} with the subspace \{\lambda\in\text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{*}\mid\lambda(c)=\lambda(d)=0\}. Let be the unique linear map in \text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{*} such that and for all . Define . Then
[TABLE]
Given , r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}, let
[TABLE]
For each , define to be the unique linear map in \text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{*} that satisfies and for all . Set , , , and . Notice that
[TABLE]
Hence, \hat{P}=\text{\mathbb{Z}}\Lambda_{0}\oplus P\oplus\text{\mathbb{Z}}\delta. Given , the number is called the level of . By (1.4), the level of depends only on its class modulo the root lattice . Set also and let denote the affine Weyl group, which is generated by the simple reflections . Finally, observe that is a basis of \text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{\ast}.
Moreover, the set forms a basis for \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t] and the set forms a basis for \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}.
1.4. Integral forms and hyperalgebras
Given a Lie algebra , let U(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) denote its universal enveloping algebra. The Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt (PBW) Theorem implies that there are isomorphisms of vector spaces
[TABLE]
Given and , consider the following power series with coefficients in U(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t])
[TABLE]
For simplicity, denote by . Similarly, consider the following power series with coefficients in U(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}) (twisted analogues of the above elements). If either is not of type and , or is of type and , set
[TABLE]
If is not of type and , set
[TABLE]
For simplicity, denote (resp. ) by (resp. ).
One can easily check the following relation among twisted and non-twisted versions of the above elements. Given , let such that \alpha|_{\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}}=\mu. Then:
[TABLE]
Given an order on the Chevalley basis of \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma} and a PBW monomial with respect to this order, we construct an ordered monomial in the elements of the set
[TABLE]
using the correspondence , and for . Using the obvious similar correspondence we consider monomials in U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}) formed by elements of
[TABLE]
and in U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]) formed by elements of
[TABLE]
Notice that can be naturally regarded as a subset of . The sets of ordered monomials thus obtained are basis of U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}), U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}), and U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]), respectively.
Let U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}})\subseteq U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}), U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])\subseteq U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]), and U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})\subseteq U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) be the –subalgebras generated respectively by , , and \{(x^{\pm}_{\mu,-r}\otimes t^{r})^{(k)}\mid\mu\in\operatorname{wt}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{-r})\cap Q_{0}^{+}\setminus\{0\},r,k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}\}. It has been proven by Kostant [Kos66] (in the U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}) case), Garland [Gar78] (in the U(\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}) case), Mitzman [Mit85] and Prevost [Pre92] (in the loop and twisted loop cases) that the subalgebras U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}), U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}), and U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]) are free -modules and the sets of ordered monomials constructed from , , are -basis of U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}), U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}), and U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]), respectively.
In particular, it follows from this result that the natural map \mathbb{C}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})\to U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) is an isomorphism of vector spaces, i.e., U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) is a an integral form of U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}), and similarly for U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]) and U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}). If is a subalgebra of preserved by , set
[TABLE]
and similarly define U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) and U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}[t]) for any subalgebra of . It also follows that, if is either \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}, \text{\mathfrak{n}}_{0}^{\pm}, \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{\varepsilon}, \text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{\varepsilon},\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{\pm}[t]^{\sigma}, \text{\mathfrak{n}}^{\pm}, , \text{\mathfrak{n}}^{\pm}[t], or \text{\mathfrak{h}}[t], then U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) is a free -module spanned by monomials formed by elements of belonging to U(\text{\mathfrak{a}}), and hence \mathbb{C}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}})\cong U(\text{\mathfrak{a}}). Moreover, we have
[TABLE]
Given a field , define the -hyperalgebra of by
[TABLE]
where is any of the subspaces considered above. We will refer to U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) as the twisted hyper current algebra of associated to over . Clearly, if the characteristic of is zero, the algebra U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) is naturally isomorphic to U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{\mathbb{F}}[t]^{\sigma}) where \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]_{\mathbb{F}}^{\sigma}=\mathbb{F}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]_{\mathbb{Z}}^{\sigma} and \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]_{\mathbb{Z}}^{\sigma} is the -span of the Chevalley basis of \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}, and similarly for all algebras we have considered. For fields of positive characteristic we just have an algebra homomorphism U(\text{\mathfrak{a}}_{\mathbb{F}})\to U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) which is neither injective nor surjective. We will keep denoting by the image of an element x\in U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}). Notice that we have
[TABLE]
Notice that U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}})=U(\text{\mathfrak{g}})\cap U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]), i.e., the integral form of coincides with its intersection with he integral form of U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]) which allows us to regard U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}) as a -subalgebra of U_{\mathbb{Z}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]).
If is of type and the characteristic of is 2, then U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) is not isomorphic to the usual hyperalgebra of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} over , constructed by using Kostant’s integral form of U(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}). However, if the characteristic of is not 2, then U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) is isomorphic to the usual hyperalgebra of \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0} over . Details can be found in [BM14, Remark 1.5] and [Bia12]. This is the reason why we are not working with fields of characteristic 2 when is of type .
1.5. A certain automorphism of hyperalgebras
One can check that there exists a unique Lie algebra automorphism \psi\colon\text{\mathfrak{g}}\to\text{\mathfrak{g}} satisfying for all . Moreover, admits a unique extension to a Lie algebra automorphism of (which we keep denoting by ) that satisfies for all x\in\text{\mathfrak{g}},f\in\text{\mathbb{C}}[t,t^{-1}]. Notice that this automorphism restricts to an automorphism of \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]. Also notice that . Thus restricts to automorphisms of \text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\sigma} and \text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}.
Keep denoting by the extension of to an automorphism of U(\text{\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}}). In particular, we have
[TABLE]
for all , , r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}, and . It follows that restricts to an automorphism of U_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{a}}) for all \text{\mathfrak{a}}\in\{\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0},\,\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0},\,\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t],\,\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t],\,\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma},\,\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma},\,\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{\pm}\}. Moreover, notice that, for every , there exists a unique ring homomorphism \mu\colon U_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})\to\text{\mathbb{Z}} satisfying
[TABLE]
Therefore,

2. Preliminaries on modules
2.1. Integrable modules for hyperalgebras
Let be either a field or . In this subsection we will review the representation theory of U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}).
Let be a U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module. For each \mu\in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}, denote the weight space of weight by V_{\mu}=\{v\in V\mid hv=\mu(h)v\ \textup{for all h\in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{}_{0})}\} . A nonzero vector is said to be a weight vector. If , then is said to be a weight of . Let \operatorname{wt}_{0}(V)=\{\mu\in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}\mid V_{\mu}\neq 0\} denote the set of weights of . If , then is said to be a weight module.
Using the inclusion P_{0}\hookrightarrow U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*} induced by (1.8), define a partial order on U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*} given by: if . Notice that (x_{\alpha,0}^{\pm})^{(k)}V_{\mu}\subseteq V_{\mu\pm k\alpha}\qquad\textup{for all}\ \alpha\in R_{0}^{+},\ k>0,\ \mu\in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}. Now, if is a weight vector such that for all and , then is said to be a highest-weight vector. If is generated by a highest-weight vector, then it is said to be a highest-weight module. If, for each , there exists such that for all and , then is said to be integrable.
If is a weight-module whose weight spaces are finitely-generated -modules, its character is defined to be the function \operatorname{ch}(V)\colon U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}\to\mathbb{Z} given by . Thus, can be regarded as an element of the group ring \mathbb{Z}[U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}]. Recall that (1.8) induces an inclusion P_{0}\hookrightarrow U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}. Thus, the group ring can be regarded as a subring of \mathbb{Z}[U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}]. Denote by the element of \text{\mathbb{Z}}[U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}] corresponding to \mu\in U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0})^{*}. There exists a unique action of on (by ring automorphisms) that satisfy for all , .
Theorem 2.1**.**
Let be a U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module.

Proof.
If {\mathbb{F}}=\text{\mathbb{Z}}, then parts a, d, f are proved in [Mac13, Theorem 2.3.6] and part b is proved in [Mac13, Proposition 2.3.5].
If is a field, then U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) is the algebra of distributions of an algebraic group of the same Lie type as \text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}. Thus, this result is proved in [Jan03, Part II]. In the particular case where is a field of characteristic zero, U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})\cong U((\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})_{\mathbb{F}}), where (\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})_{\mathbb{F}}={\mathbb{F}}\otimes_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}} and (\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}} is the -span of the Chevalley basis given in Section 1.2. In this case, this result is also proved in [Hum90]. In the particular case where is a field of positive characteristic, this result is also proved in [JM07, Section 2]. ∎
2.2. Demazure and local Weyl modules for twisted current hyperalgebras
Throughout this subsection, let be either a field or , let be a finite-dimensional simple -Lie algebra with a triangular decomposition \text{\mathfrak{g}}=\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{h}}\oplus\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}, and let \sigma\colon\text{\mathfrak{g}}\to\text{\mathfrak{g}} be a Dynkin diagram automorphism.
Definition 2.2**.**
Given , let the twisted local graded Weyl module W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) be the U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module given as a quotient of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) by the left ideal generated by
[TABLE]
Given and , let the twisted Demazure module D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) be the U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module given as a quotient of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) by the left ideal generated by
[TABLE]
for all h\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}), , s\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}, , in case \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n}, , and in every other case.
Notice that W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda), D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) are weight modules, and that D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) is a quotient of W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda). Moreover, the ideal defining W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda) (resp. D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda)) is the image of the ideal defining W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda) (resp. D_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda)) in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}). Thus, we have the following isomorphisms of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules:
[TABLE]
3. Preliminary results
3.1. Finite-dimensionality of Weyl modules
The following lemma will be used in Proposition 3.3.
Lemma 3.1**.**
- (a)
If is a finite-dimensional U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])-module, and is such that
[TABLE]
then for all and k\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{>0}. 2. (b)
If is a finite-dimensional U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module, and is such that
[TABLE]
then for all and k\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{>0}, where if is of type and , and otherwise.
Proof.
The proof of part a is similar to that of [JM07, Proposition 3.1]. The proof of part b is similar to that of [BM14, Proposition 3.2]. ∎
Lemma 3.2**.**
For any , W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is an integrable U_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module.
Proof.
This proof is similar to the proof of [JM07, Proposition 3.1.1]. ∎
Proposition 3.3**.**
For any , W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is a finitely generated abelian group.
Proof.
Let be the set of functions \phi\colon\mathbb{Z}_{>0}\to Q^{+}\times\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}\times\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}, , such that: for all j\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{>0}, and for all sufficiently large. Let denote the image of 1\in U_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) in W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda), and recall that W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is generated (as an abelian group) by elements of the form
[TABLE]
Thus, the subgroup of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) generated by elements with a fixed and a fixed \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}-weight () is finitely generated.
By Lemma 3.2, we know that W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda) is an integrable U_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module. Thus, Theorem 2.1b implies that the set \operatorname{wt}_{0}\left(W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda)\right) is -invariant. Since the \text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}-weights of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) are bounded above by , it follows that the set of weights of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is contained in that of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda). Since the set of weights of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda) is finite, it follows that the set of weights of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is also finite. Hence, the subgroup of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) generated by elements with a fixed is finitely generated.
In order to show that W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda) is finitely generated, we will restrict the possibilities of to finitely many distinct ones. Define the exponent of to be , observe that , and let
[TABLE]
In order to finish the proof, we will show that W^{\prime}=W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda).
In fact, we will use induction on and in order to show that for all , . If , then . Assume that and that the statement holds for all . The proof splits into two cases, according to whether or not.
Suppose , in which case for some and . By induction hypothesis, . Thus, without loss of generality, we will assume that for all . Using Lemma 1.2 repeatedly to commute with , and induction hypothesis on the terms of hyperdegree strictly less than , we obtain that
[TABLE]
By induction hypothesis, . Since , it follows that
[TABLE]
Hence, .
Now, suppose , in which case . Also suppose that . We will split the rest of this proof into four cases:
Case 1: Assume \text{\mathfrak{g}}\not\cong A_{2n} and or \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n} and . Our goal is to show that for all with . Replacing in Lemma 1.4(a) we get
[TABLE]
Since for all , it follows that this last equality is zero for all . Thus
[TABLE]
Set . Since, from the case ,
[TABLE]
for all , it follows, from Equation (3.1), that for all .
Case 2: Assume \text{\mathfrak{g}}\not\cong A_{2n} and . Here our goal is to show that for all and with . Replacing in Lemma 1.4(b) we get
[TABLE]
Since for all , it follows that this last equality is zero for all . Thus
[TABLE]
and the conclusion follows as in the previous case.
Case 3: Assume \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n} and . For this case our goal is to show that for all with and an odd number. It is achievable proceeding in a similar way to the previous cases by using Lemma 1.4(c)(ii).
Case 4: Assume \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n} and . Our goal is to show that for all with . The procedure with even is done by using Lemma 1.4(c)(i) also in a similar way to the other cases. Finally, the case with odd follows by Lemma 1.4(c)(iii) and by using the conclusion of Case 3. ∎
Corollary 3.4**.**
For any and , W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda) and D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) are finite-dimensional.
Proof.
Recall that W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda)\cong\text{\mathbb{F}}\otimes_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda). Since W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda) is finitely generated, the dimension of W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda) is at most the number of generators of W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}(\lambda). Now recall that D_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) is a quotient of W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda), for all and . Since W_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) is finitely generated, it follows that D_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) is also finitely generated. Finally, recall that D^{\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\ell,\lambda)\cong\text{\mathbb{F}}\otimes_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}D_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda), and, since D_{\text{\mathbb{Z}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) is finitely generated, it follows that D^{\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\ell,\lambda) is also finite-dimensional. ∎
3.2. The category of -graded finite-dimensional U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules
Let \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma} be the category of -graded finite-dimensional U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules. Given a module in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}, let denote its -th graded piece, and given s\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}, let be the module in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma} satisfying for all r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}. For each finite-dimensional U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module , let be the module in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma} obtained by inflating the action of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) to U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}) by setting U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})V=0. For each r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}, set , and for each , set V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda,r)=\operatorname{ev}_{r}V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda).
Theorem 3.5**.**
- (a)
If is a simple module in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}, then is isomorphic to for a unique (\lambda,r)\in P_{0}^{+}\times\text{\mathbb{Z}}. 2. (b)
For every , is in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}. 3. (c)
Let . If is a module in \cal G_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma} generated by a nonzero vector satisfying
[TABLE]
then is a quotient of W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda).
Proof.
To prove part (a), suppose for some s<r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}. In that case, would be a proper submodule of , contradicting the fact that it is simple. Thus there must exist a unique r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}} such that . Since , , for all u\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})^{0} and , it follows that U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})^{0}V=0. Thus is in fact the inflation of a simple U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module; that is, V\cong V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda,r) for some and r\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}.
Part (b) follows directly from Corollary 3.4.
To prove part (c), observe that the U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}[t])-submodule V^{\prime}=U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}[t])v\subseteq V is a graded, finite-dimensional, highest-weight module of highest weight . Thus is a quotient of the graded Weyl module for U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}[t]) of highest weight . Using Lemma 1.1, the statement follows by comparing the defining relations of W^{c,\sigma}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\lambda) with those in (3.3). ∎
3.3. Joseph-Mathieu-Polo relations for Demazure modules
We now explain the reason why we call Demazure modules. In order to do that, we need the concepts of weight vectors, weight spaces, weight modules and integrable modules for U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime}) which are similar to those for U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) (cf. Subsection 2.1) by replacing by . Also, using an analogue of (1.8), we obtain an inclusion \hat{P}^{\prime}\hookrightarrow U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{\prime})^{*}. Let be a -graded U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime})-module whose weights are in . As before, let denote the -th graded piece of . For , say with , n\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}, denote
[TABLE]
The next result is a partial twisted affine analogue of Theorem 2.1.
Theorem 3.6**.**
Let be a graded U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime})-module.
- (a)
If is integrable, then is a weight-module and . Moreover, for all , . 2. (b)
If is a highest-weight module of highest weight , then and only if . Moreover, has a unique maximal proper submodule and, hence, also a unique irreducible quotient. In particular, is indecomposable. 3. (c)
Let and . Then, the U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{g}}}^{\prime})-module \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda) generated by a vector of degree satisfying the defining relations
[TABLE]
is nonzero and integrable. Furthermore, every integrable highest-weight module of highest weight is a quotient of \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda). ∎
Given , traditionally, a Demazure module is defined to be the U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{b}}}^{\prime+})-submodule V_{\mathbb{F}}^{w}(\Lambda)\subseteq\widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda) generated by the weight space \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda)_{w\Lambda} for some (cf. [Mat89, FL07, Nao12, FK13]). Our focus is on Demazure modules that are stable under the action of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}). Since V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is defined as a U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\hat{\mathfrak{b}}}^{\prime+})-module, it is stable under the action of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0}) if, and only if,
[TABLE]
In particular, since V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is an integrable U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-module, it follows that for all . Conversely, using the exchange condition for Coxeter groups (see [Hum90, Section 5.8]), for all , we have
[TABLE]
where if and if . Thus, if for all , then V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-stable.
Henceforth, assume that for all , and observe that this implies that must have the form
[TABLE]
Conversely, given \ell\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}, and n\in\text{\mathbb{Z}}, since acts simply transitively on the set of alcoves of \text{\hat{\mathfrak{h}}}^{\ast} (see [Hum90, Theorem 4.5.(c)]), there exists a unique such that . Thus, if and are such that
[TABLE]
then V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-stable. Henceforth, we fix , , and as in (3.6). Notice that, if , , , then
[TABLE]
The following lemma is a rewriting of [Mat89, Lemme 26] using the above fixed notation. (Compare it with [FL07, Theorem 1], [FK13, Proposition 4.8] and [BMM15, Lemma 3.5.3].)
Lemma 3.7**.**
The U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is isomorphic to a U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module generated by a vector of degree satisfying the following defining relations:
[TABLE]
The following is the main result of this subsection.
Proposition 3.8**.**
The graded U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) and D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda,n) are isomorphic.
Proof.
It suffices to prove the statement for and, thus, for simplicity, we assume that this is the case. First, we will show that V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is a quotient of D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda). Let . Since \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda) is integrable and V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is a U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}_{0})-submodule of \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda), it follows from Theorem 3.6a that
[TABLE]
Hence there exists a nonzero vector v\in V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda)_{\mu}, which is extremal and generates V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda). Since is an extremal weight vector of weight in \widehat{M}_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\Lambda), we have, for all positive real roots ,
[TABLE]
In particular, by taking with and , we obtain that
[TABLE]
This implies that for all , , . Thus U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}[t]^{\sigma})^{0}v=0. Similarly, by taking with and , we obtain that
[TABLE]
This implies that for all , in case \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n}, , and implies that for all in every other case. These vanishing conditions for and , together with Lemma 1.4 imply that U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})^{0}v=0. Thus, is a generator of V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) satisfying the defining relations (2.1). This implies that V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) is a quotient of D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda).
It now suffices to show that \dim D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda)\leq\dim V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda). In fact, we will show that , the pull-back of D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda) by , is a quotient of V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda). Let this time be a nonzero generator in D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda)_{\lambda} and denote when regarded as an element of . Since U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}[t]^{\sigma})^{0}v=0 and \psi\left(U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}[t]^{\sigma})^{0}\right)=U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{+}[t]^{\sigma})^{0}, it follows that U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{n}}^{-}[t]^{\sigma})^{0}v^{\prime}=0. Since restricts to an automorphism of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+}) and U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})^{0}v=0, then U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}[t]^{\sigma}_{+})^{0}v^{\prime}=0. Moreover, since for all h\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}), (1.9) implies that for all h\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}). Finally, the defining relations (2.1) for and (1.7) imply that
[TABLE]
in case \text{\mathfrak{g}}\cong A_{2n} and , and imply that
[TABLE]
in every other case. Thus satisfies the defining relations of the generator of V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda) given in Lemma 3.7. This shows that is a quotient of V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda). Therefore, \dim D_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{\sigma}(\ell,\lambda)=\dim D^{\prime}\leq\dim V_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{w}(\Lambda). ∎
4. Main results
4.1. Connection between twisted Weyl modules and twisted Demazure modules
In this section we will show that almost all Weyl modules are isomorphic to certain Demazure modules.
The following lemma will be used in Theorem 4.2.
Lemma 4.1**.**
[JM14, Proposition 2.5.4]**. Let and let be a nonzero vector of weight of the U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}[t])-module . Then, for all , . ∎
Theorem 4.2**.**
Suppose is of type or . Then, we have and isomorphism of U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules
[TABLE]
Proof.
It follows from the definitions in Section 2.2 that the Demazure module is a quotient of the the Weyl module . By comparing the defining relations in Lemma 3.7 and Definition 2.2, to prove that these modules are isomorphic it is suffices to show that the generator of the Weyl module is subject to the following relations:
[TABLE]
Notice that these relations are equivalent to:
[TABLE]
for all
Let be a long root and V=U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2,\alpha}[t^{m}])\cdot v\subseteq W_{\mathbb{F}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda). Notice that is a cyclic generator for and satisfies the defining relations of of the nontwisted graded Weyl U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2}[t])-module . Thus, we conclude that is a quotient . In particular, by Lemma 4.1, satisfies the relations
[TABLE]
Now, by Lemma 1.1 we obtain
[TABLE]
Finally, suppose is a short root and consider the U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2,\alpha}[t])-submodule V=U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2,\alpha}[t])\cdot v\subseteq W_{\mathbb{F}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda). In a similar fashion as above we can use Lemma 1.1 to conclude that is a quotient of and, therefore, satisfies the relations in (4.2). So, by using the isomorphism in Lemma 1.1 we obtain
[TABLE]
4.2. Connection between twisted and untwisted Weyl modules
In this section we will show that the twisted Weyl modules can be realized as modules for the hyper current algebra constructed from certain untwisted Weyl modules. The version of this result for hyper loop algebra was proved in [BM14] and the methods are completely different.
Suppose that . Denote by \textrm{res}^{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])}_{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})}W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda) the module obtained by regarding W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda) as a U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-module via restriction of the action of U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]) to U_{\mathbb{F}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma}).
Theorem 4.3**.**
There is an isomorphism \textrm{res}^{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])}_{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})}W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda)\cong W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda) of U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})-modules.
Proof.
Let v\in W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda) be a cyclic generator and W=U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})v\subseteq U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])v=W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda). Under these assumptions we have W=\textrm{res}^{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t])}_{U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{g}}[t]^{\sigma})}W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda). We will show that is a quotient of W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c,\sigma}(\lambda).
Firstly, from the defining relations of W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda) and the construction of , we easily conclude that
[TABLE]
It remains to show that
[TABLE]
for all h\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}), , and . From Section 1.2, we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
which leads to for all h\in U_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}(\text{\mathfrak{h}}_{0}) due to the defining relations of W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda). Also from Section 1.2 we have
[TABLE]
and supposing , from the defining relations of W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda), we conclude that for all these cases, since the first case is direct, the second case follows by taking the binomial expansion
[TABLE]
where we observe that either or and and commutes, and the third case follows from the expansion
[TABLE]
and the fact that \lambda-2\alpha-2\sigma(\alpha)\notin\operatorname{wt}(W_{\text{\mathbb{F}}}^{c}(\lambda)) for any . ∎
