An explicit determination of the Springer morphism

Publication date 17 September 2018

Abstract: Let

G

be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over

m a t h b b C

and let

h o : G i g h t a r r o w G L (V_{l} a m b d a)

be an irreducible representation of highest weight

l a m b d a

. Suppose that

h o

has finite kernel. Springer defined adjoint-invariant regular map with Zariski dense image from the group to its Lie algebra,

h e t a_{l} a m b d a : G i g h t a r r o w m a t h f r a k g

, which depends on

l a m b d a

[Kumar]. By a lemma in Kumar's recent paper,

h e t a_{l} a m b d a

takes the maximal torus to its Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k t

. Thus, for a given simple group

G

and an irreducible representation

V_{l} a m b d a

, one may write

h e t a_{l} a m b d a (t) = s u m l i m i t s_{i = 1}^{n} c_{i} (t) c h e c k a l p h a_{i}

, where the simple co-roots

c h e c k a l p h a_{i}

are a basis for

m a t h f r a k t

. We give a complete determination of these coefficients

c_{i} (t)

for any simple group

G

as a sum over the weights of the torus action on

V_{l} a m b d a

.
