Weight q-multiplicities for representations of the exceptional Lie algebra g₂

Abstract: Given a simple Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

, Kostant's weight

q

-multiplicity formula is an alternating sum over the Weyl group whose terms involve the

q

-analog of Kostant's partition function. For

x i

(a weight of

m a t h f r a k g

), the

q

-analog of Kostant's partition function is a polynomial-valued function defined by

w p_{q} (x i) = s u m c_{i} q^{i}

where

c_{i}

is the number of ways

x i

can be written as a sum of

i

positive roots of

m a t h f r a k g

. In this way, the evaluation of Kostant's weight

q

-multiplicity formula at

q = 1

recovers the multiplicity of a weight in a highest weight representation of

m a t h f r a k g

. In this paper, we give closed formulas for computing weight

q

-multiplicities in a highest weight representation of the exceptional Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g_{2}

.
