Cup products of line bundles on homogeneous varieties and generalized PRV components of multiplicity one (Q2360114)

Let \(G\) be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and \(B\) a Borel subgroup of \(G\). The main object of study in the present paper is the cup product map \[ H^{d_1}(X,L_1)\otimes H^{d_2}(X,L_1) \overset{\cup}{\longrightarrow} \otimes H^{d}(X,L), \] where \(X =G/B\), \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are two line bundles on \(X\), \(L=L_1\otimes L_2\) and \(d=d_1+d_2\). The questions addressed in the paper are: {\parindent=0.7cm\begin{itemize}\item[--] When is this map a nonzero homomorphism of representations of \(G\)? \item[--] Given generic irreducible representations \(V_1\) and \(V_2\), which irreducible components of \(V_1\otimes V_2\) may appear in the right hand side of the equation above? \end{itemize}} The first question is answered in combinatorial terms using inversion sets of Weyl group elements. For the second question, it is shown that every representations appearing in the right hand side of the equation above is a generalized PRV component of \(V_1\otimes V_2\) of stable multiplicity one. Moreover, assuming that \(V\) is a a generalized PRV component of \(V_1\otimes V_2\) of stable multiplicity one, it is shown that \(V\) is a cohomological component of \(V_1\otimes V_2\) provided that at least one of the highest weights of \(V\), \(V_1\) or \(V_2\) is strictly dominant or \(G\) is a simple classical group or a product of simple classical groups.
