The \(b\)-functions for prehomogeneous vector spaces of commutative parabolic type and universal generalized Verma modules



Abstract: We shall give a uniform expression and a uniform calculation for the b-functions of prehomogeneous vector spaces of commutative parabolic type, which were previously calculated by case-by-case analysis. Our method is a generalization of Kashiwara's approach using the universal Verma modules. We shall also give a new proof for the criterion of the irreducibility of the generalized Verma module in terms of b-functions due to Suga, Gyoja, Wachi.


Let \(G\) be a connected, simply-connected simple algebraic group. Let \(P\) be a parabolic subgroup such that the unipotent radical of \(P\) is commutative. In this paper the author determines the \(b\)-functions of the invariants of \(G/P\) using universal generalized Verma modules. This paper makes an important contribution to the geometry of the flag manifolds \(G/P\).
