Antichains in weight posets associated with gradings of simple Lie algebras

Abstract: For a reductive Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k h

and a simple finite-dimensional

m a t h f r a k h

-module

V

, the set of weights of

V

,

P (V)

, has a natural poset structure. We consider antichains in the weight poset

P (V)

and a certain operator

m a t h f r a k X

acting on antichains. Eventually, we impose stronger constraints on

(m a t h f r a k h, V)

and stick to the case in which

m a t h f r a k h

and

V

are associated with a

Z

-grading of a simple Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

. Then

V

is a weight multiplicity free

m a t h f r a k h

-module and

P (V)

can be regarded as a subposet of

D e l t a^{+}

, where

D e l t a

is the root system of

m a t h f r a k g

. Our goal is to demonstrate that antichains in the weight posets associated with

Z

-gradings of

m a t h f r a k g

exhibit many good properties similar to those of

D e l t a^{+}

that are observed earlier in arXiv: math.CO 0711.3353 (=Ref. [14] in the text).
