Our strategy is, once again, to classify the irreducible representations. -% TODO: Add references to the motivation Secondly, and this is more important, we now consider -\emph{infinite-dimensional} representations too. The motivation behind looking -at infinite-dimensional modules was already explained in the introduction, but -this introduces numerous complications to our analysis. For example, if -\(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})\) is the regular \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module then -\(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})_\lambda = 0\) for all \(\lambda \in -\mathfrak{h}^*\). This follows from the fact that \(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})\) -has no zero divisors: given \(u \in \mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})\), \((H - -\lambda(H)) u = 0\) for some nonzero \(H \in \mathfrak{h}\) implies \(u = 0\). -In particular, +\emph{infinite-dimensional} representations too, which introduces numerous +complications to our analysis.
