The reducibility criterion for Weyl modules of type A

Let GG be a group of type AA, let U\mathcal U^- denote the negative part of its enveloping algebra, and let X+(T)X^+(T) be the set of dominant weights. For a dominant weight ω\omega, write eω+e^+_\omega for a highest-weight vector in the corresponding Weyl module. A pair (F,ω)(F,\omega) is reducible if it can be transformed to (c,0)(c,0) for some cKc\in\mathbf K^* by the transformations defined in the paper.

The reducibility criterion. Let FF be a weight element of U\mathcal U^- and ωX+(T)\omega\in X^+(T). Then

Feω+0Fe^+_\omega\ne0

if and only if the pair (F,ω)(F,\omega) is reducible.

This criterion is proposed as a local characterization of nonzero vectors in Weyl modules for groups of type AA. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
