For any simple Lie algebra L with Cartan subalgebra H the classification of all simple H-diagonalizable. H-modules having a finite-dimensional weight space is known to depend on determining the simple torsion-free Lmodules of finite degree. It is further known that the only simple Lie algebras which admit simple torsion-free modules of finite degree are those of types An and Cn. For the case of An. we show that there are no simple torsion-free An- modules of degree k for n ≥ 4 and 2 ≤ k ≤ n - 2. We conclude with some examples showing that there exist simple torsion-free A. -modules of degrees 1, n - 1, and n. © 1995 American Mathematical Society.
