Classification of Simple Cuspidal Modules over Nongraded Witt Lie Algebras

For a positive integer $n$, let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_1^{\pm1},\ldots,t_n^{\pm1},x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ and $\mathfrak{g}_n=\bigoplus_{i=1}^n A_nd_i$, where $d_i=t_i\frac{\partial}{\partial t_i} +\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}$. We first determine when the tensor module $T(P,V)=P\otimes V$ is simple, where $P$ is a simple module over the Weyl type algebra $D_n$ and $V$ is a simple $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-module. We then prove a canonical algebra isomorphism $A_n\#U(\mathfrak{g}_n)\cong D_n\otimes U(\mathfrak{m}_{\mathbf{1},\mathbf{0}}\Delta)$, and use it to show that every simple cuspidal $\mathfrak{g}_n$-module is isomorphic to a simple quotient of some $T(A_n(\lambda),V)$, where $V$ is a finite-dimensional simple $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-module.
