Differential equations and singular vectors in Verma modules

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Xu introduced a system of partial differential equations to investigate singular vectors in the Verma modules of highest weight λλ over sl(n,C)\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C}). He proved that the solution space of this system in the space of truncated power series is spanned by {σ(1) ∣ σ∈Sn}\{σ(1)\ |\ σ\in S_n\}. We present an explicit formula of the solution sα(1)s_α(1) for every positive root αα and showed directly that sα(1)s_α(1) is a polynomial if and only if ⟨λ+ρ,α⟩\langleλ+ρ,α\rangle is a nonnegative integer. From this, we can recover a formula of singular vectors given by Malikov et al.
