A Weyl module stratification of integrable representations. With an appendix by Ryosuke Kodera (Q2415328): Difference between revisions

In this work, the authors construct explicitly a filtration on integrable highest weight modules of affine Lie algebras having the property that the adjoint graded quotient decomposes as a direct sum of Weyl modules. It is shown that the graded multiplicity of such constituents is determined by the corresponding level-restricted Kostka polynomial, providing a geometric interpretation of these polynomials. The case of the level one is studied in detail, and global Weyl modules of current algebras of type ADE are realized in terms of Schubert subvarieties of thick affine Grassmannians.
