Jacobi–Trudi determinant formula for projective covers

Suppose that g\mathfrak{g} is of type BnB_n, CnC_n or Dn+1D_{n+1} and that λP+\lambda\in P^+ satisfies λ(hi)=0\lambda(h_i)=0 for ini\ge n. Let Ψλ\Psi_\lambda be the root subset defined from iλ=max{iI:λ(hi)>0}i_\lambda=\max\{i\in I:\lambda(h_i)>0\}, and let P(λ,0)Γ(λ,Ψλ)P(\lambda,0)^{\Gamma(\lambda,\Psi_\lambda)} denote the corresponding projective object. Using the Jacobi–Trudi determinant hλ\boldsymbol{h}_\lambda defined from the characters of the fundamental representations, Jacobi–Trudi projective-cover conjecture.

chP(λ,0)Γ(λ,Ψλ)=hλ.\operatorname{ch}P(\lambda,0)^{\Gamma(\lambda,\Psi_\lambda)}=\boldsymbol{h}_\lambda.

Equivalently, with the coefficients cν,sλc^\lambda_{\nu,s} and indexing set Γ(λ,Ψλ)\Gamma(\lambda,\Psi_\lambda) from the paper,

(ν,s)Γ(λ,Ψλ)(1)scν,sλhν=chV(λ).\sum_{(\nu,s)\in\Gamma(\lambda,\Psi_\lambda)}(-1)^s c^\lambda_{\nu,s}\boldsymbol{h}_\nu=\operatorname{ch}V(\lambda).

This conjecture combines the projective-cover problem with the Nakai–Nakanishi character conjecture; it is verified only in certain cases in the paper and remains open in the stated generality.
