Abstract: We study the PBW filtration on the highest weight representations V(la) of msln+1. This filtration is induced by the standard degree filtration on U(−). We give a description of the associated graded S(−)-module grV(la) in terms of generators and relations. We also construct a basis of grV(la). As an application we derive a graded combinatorial character formula for V(la), and we obtain a new class of bases of the modules V(la) conjectured by Vinberg in 2005.


The universal enveloping algebra \(U(\mathfrak{a})\) of a finite dimensional Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{a}\) has a natural filtration by monomial degrees. Let \(\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_n\) with a fixed standard triangular decomposition \(\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{n}_-\oplus\mathfrak{h}\oplus\mathfrak{n}_+\). For a dominant integral \(\lambda\in\mathfrak{h}^*\) let \(V(\lambda)\) be the corresponding simple finite dimensional \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module with a fixed primitive vector. Applying the components of the degree filtration of \(U(\mathfrak{n}_-)\) to the primitive vector induces a filtration on \(V(\lambda)\). The main object of the study in the paper under review is the associated graded vector space \(\mathrm{gr}\,V(\lambda)\). The latter is a cyclic module over the symmetric algebra \(S(\mathfrak{n}_-)\) over \(\mathfrak{n}_-\) and hence has the form \(\mathfrak{n}_-/I(\lambda)\) for some ideal \(I(\lambda)\). The first main result of the paper gives a concrete description of \(I(\lambda)\). The second main result of the paper gives an explicit monomial basis of \(\mathrm{gr}\,V(\lambda)\), construction of which uses, in particular, combinatorics of Dyck paths.
