Modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter Algebras and matrix equations
The all Rota-Baxter algebra structures on the polynomial algebra $R={\bf k}[x]$ are well known. We study the finite dimensional modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter algebras $(\bfk[x],P)$ or $(x {\bf k} [x],P)$ of weight nonzero since some cases of weight zero have been studied. The main result shows that every module over the polynomial Rota-Baxter algebra $(\bfk[x],P)$ or $(x {\bf k} [x],P)$ is equivalent to the modules over a plane ${\bf k}\langle x,y \rangle/ I$ where $I$ is some ideal of free algebra ${\bf k}\langle x,y \rangle$. Furthermore, we provide the classification of modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter algebras of weight nonzero through solution to some matrix equation.
