A combinatorial property of Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolutions of unitary highest weight modules.

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

It follows from a formula by Kostant that the difference between the highest weights of consecutive parabolic Verma modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand-Lepowsky resolution of the trivial representation is a single root. We show that an analogous property holds for all unitary representations of simply laced type. Specifically, the difference between consecutive highest weights is a sum of positive noncompact roots all with multiplicity one.
