Abstract: Kostant asked the following question: Let $mathfrakg$ be a simple Lie algebra over the complex numbers. Let $lambda$ be a dominant integral weight. Then, $V(lambda)$ is a component of $V(ho)otimesV(ho)$ if and only if $lambdaleq2ho$ under the usual Bruhat-Chevalley order on the set of weights. We give an affirmative answer to this question up to a saturation factor. In particular, the question is answered affirmatively for the special linear Lie algebras due to the Saturation Theorem of Knutson-Tao.
