Jantzen filtration

(Redirected from Jantzen conjectures)

In representation theory, a Jantzen filtration is a filtration of a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra, or a Weyl module of a reductive algebraic group of positive characteristic. Jantzen filtrations were introduced by Jantzen (1979).

Jantzen filtration for Verma modules

edit

If M(λ) is a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra with highest weight λ, then the Janzen filtration is a decreasing filtration

 

It has the following properties:

  • M(λ)1=N(λ), the unique maximal proper submodule of M(λ)
  • The quotients M(λ)i/M(λ)i+1 have non-degenerate contravariant bilinear forms.
  • The Jantzen sum formula holds:
 
where   denotes the formal character.
