Matrix formulas for multiplicities in the spin module (Q6591985)

Let~\(\mathfrak{g}\) be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, and let \(\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{g}\) be a Levi subalgebra that contains a Cartan subalgebra~\(\mathfrak{t}\) of~\(\mathfrak{g}\). Denote by \(\mathfrak{q}=\mathfrak{u}^+\oplus\mathfrak{u}^-\) the orthogonal complement of~\(\mathfrak{h}\) in~\(\mathfrak{g}\) with respect to the Killing form, where~\(\mathfrak{u}^\pm\) are the nilradicals of the standard parabolic subalgebras~\(\mathfrak{p}^{\pm}\) with Levi factors~\(\mathfrak{h}\). The spin module is a vector space \(\mathbf{S}:=\bigwedge\mathfrak u^+\) equipped with an~\(\mathfrak{h}\)-action defined by the composition of the following maps: \N\[\N\mathfrak h\xrightarrow{\mathrm{ad} }\mathfrak{so}(\mathfrak{q})\subset\mathrm{C}(\mathfrak{q}) \xrightarrow{\gamma}\mathrm{End}(\mathbf{S}), \N\]\Nwhere \(\mathrm{C}(\mathfrak q)\) is the Clifford algebra of~\(\mathfrak{q}\) and~\(\gamma\) is induced from the multiplication in \(\mathrm{C}(\mathfrak q)\). The obtained representation is actually a weight representation of~\(\mathfrak{h}\).\N\NThe paper under review focuses on the study of weight multiplicities of the spin modules. The authors begin by establishing some general properties of weight multiplicities when the underlying Lie algebra~\(\mathfrak{g}\) semisimple, with particular attention to the case when a Levi subalgebra chose to be a Cartan subalgebra~\(\mathfrak{t}\). Then they proceed with deriving inductive and enumerative formulas for the multiplicities of spin modules for Levi subalgebras of the special linear Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb C)\). This characterization of multiplicities is notably combinatorial in nature.
