<p>For a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, a highest weight module $V(\lambda)$ with highest weight weight $\lambda$ has the property that every submodule $W$ of $V(\lambda)$ is a direct sum of the weight spaces of $W$. </p> <p>Now consider quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$. Let $V(\lambda)$ be the highest weight $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$-module with highest weight weight $\lambda$. Do we still have the property that every submodule $W$ of $V(\lambda)$ is a direct sum of the weight spaces of $W$?</p>

<p>Yes. See Proposition 3.2.1 in Jin Hong and Seok-Jin Kang's book <em>Introduction to Quantum Groups and Crystal Bases</em>.</p>
