SMRI Algebra and Geometry Online ’Root components for tensor product of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra modules’ Shrawan Kumar (University of North Carolina) Friday Jul 23, 2021 11:00am-12:30pm (AEST) Register: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0sc--qrzkpHdd5eE6IgQUYtXWfnEssOCIC This is a joint work with Samuel Jeralds. Let ð¤ be an affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra and let λ, µ be two dominant integral weights for ð¤. We prove that under some mild restriction, for any positive root β, V(λ) â V(µ) contains V(λ + µ â β) as a component, where V(λ) denotes the integrable highest weight (irreducible) ð¤-module with highest weight λ. This extends the corresponding result by Kumar from the case of finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras to the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. One crucial ingredient in the proof is the action of Virasoro algebra via the Goddard-Kent-Olive construction on the tensor product V(λ) â V(µ). Then, we prove the corresponding geometric results including the higher cohomology vanishing on the ð¢-Schubert varieties in the product partial flag variety ð¢/ð« à ð¢/ð« with coefficients in certain sheaves coming from the ideal sheaves of ð¢-sub Schubert varieties. This allows us to prove the surjectivity of the Gaussian map.
