Verma module


Let 𝔤 be a semi-simple Lie algebra, 𝔥 a Cartan subalgebraMathworldPlanetmath, and𝔟 a Borel subalgebra. We work over a field F. Given a weight λ𝔥*, let Fλ be the 1-d dimensional 𝔟-module on which 𝔥 acts by multiplicationPlanetmathPlanetmath by λ, and the positive root spaces act trivially. Now, the Verma moduleMathworldPlanetmath Mλ of the weight λ is the 𝔤-module induced from Fλ, i.e.

Mλ=𝒰(𝔤)𝒰(𝔟)Fλ.

Using the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem we see that as a vector space Mλ is isomorphicPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath to 𝒰(𝔫¯), where 𝔫¯ is the sum of the negative weight spaces (so 𝔤=𝔟𝔫¯). In particular Mλ is infinite dimensional.

We say a 𝔤-module V is a highest weight module if it has a weight μ𝔥* and a non-zero vector vVμ with Xv=0 for any X in a positive root space and such that V is generated as a 𝔤-module by v. The Verma module Mλ is a highest weight module and we fix a generatorPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath 11.

The most important property of Verma modules is that they are universalPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath amongst highest weight modules, in the following sense. If V is a highest weight module generated by v which has weight λ then there is a unique surjectivePlanetmathPlanetmath homomorphismMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath MλV which sends 11 to v. That is, all highest weight modules with highest weight λ are quotients of Mλ. Also, Mλ has a unique maximal submodule, so there is a unique irreducible representation with highest weight λ. If λ is dominant and integral then this module is finite dimensional.
