    Let \(G\) be a reductive algebraic group over \(\mathbb{C}\) and let \(N\) be a \(G\)-module. Choose a principal nilpotent \(X\) in \(\text{Lie\,}G\). For any subspace \(M\) of \(N\), the kernels of the powers of \(X\) define the Brylinski-Kostant filtration on \(M\). This filtration is related to a \(q\)-analog of weight multiplicity due to Lusztig. The author generalizes this filtration to the case when \(X\) is a Richardson nilpotent of a parabolic and shows that this generalized filtration is related to ``parabolic'' versions of Lusztig's \(q\)-analog of weight multiplicity. For this he also needs to generalize results of Broer on cohomology vanishing of vector bundles on cotangent bundles of partial flag varieties. He concludes by computing some explicit examples.
