Extensions between generalized Verma modules: The Hermitian symmetric cases (Q1821184): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathfrak g}\) be a semisimple complex Lie algebra and let \({\mathfrak p}\) be a parabolic subalgebra of \({\mathfrak g}\) with nilradical \({\mathfrak u}\) and Levi component \({\mathfrak m}\). The problem of computing the \({\mathfrak u}\)- cohomology of irreducible highest weight (\({\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak p})\)-modules is completely solved by the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures. On the other hand, the \({\mathfrak u}\)-cohomology of the (\({\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak p})\)- generalized Verma modules is a completely open question, even in the case when \({\mathfrak p}\) is a Borel subalgebra. This paper gives a solution to this problem for regular integral character in the cases when (\({\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak p})\) corresponds to an indecomposable Hermitian symmetric pair. The solution is given as a set of recursion relations for the dimensions of the spaces \(Ext^ *\) of extensions between generalized Verma modules.
