Abstract: We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over $BbbC$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets. Moreover, using this characterization, we give the classification of thick representations over $BbbC$ of connected complex simple Lie groups.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a complex connected simple Lie group, and \(\rho : G \to GL(V)\) be a finite-dimensional representation of \(G\). Then \(\rho\) is called \(m\)-thick if for any \(V_1, V_2 \leq V\) with \(\dim(V_1) = m\) and \(\dim(V_1) + \dim(V_2) = m\), there exists \(g \in G\) such that \[ \rho(g)V_1 \oplus V_2 = V. \] Also, \(\rho\) is called thick if it is \(m\)-thick for all \(0 < m < \dim(V)\). By the previous work of the authors, they have shown that \(\rho\) is \(1\)-thick if and only if \(\rho\) is irreducible. In this manuscript, the author classified all thick representations. More precisely, they gave a necessary and sufficient conditions on \(\rho\) being thick by looking at the weights of the representation \(\rho\) (Theorem 3.5). Using this criteria, they gave a list of all thick representations for all complex simple \(G\) (Theorem 3.11, 3.12).
