Abstract: Let G be a semisimple complex algebraic group with Borel subgroup B and let P be a parabolic subgroup of G. Let T*(G/P) denote the cotangent bundle of G/P. Ranee Brylinski discovered a connection between cohomology of G-equivariant line bundles on T*(G/B) and the so-called Brylinski-Kostant filtration, which describes the action of principal sl_2 triples on G-representations. In this paper we generalize these results to a larger class of sl_2 triples. Along the way we also obtain generalizations of results due to Broer on cohomology of G-equivariant bundles on T*(G/P) for various parabolics P.

Review text

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.
