A classification of simple weight $\s\l_2\sdir{}V_2$-modules is given. Generators and defining relations are found for the centralizer $C_A(H)$ in $A$ of the Cartan element $H$ of $\s\l_2\sdir{}V_2$. Explicit descriptions of the prime, primitive, completely prime and maximal spectra of $C_A(H)$ are given. Simple $C_A(H)$-modules are classified. Keywords: Prime ideal, primitive ideal, weight module, simple module, centralizer. MSC: 17B10, 16D25, 16D60, 16D70, 16P50 [ Fulltext-pdf  (441  KB)] for subscribers only.
