Racah–Speiser recursion for the non-standard modules

About 10 years old · traced to

Let VΛmV^{\Lambda_m} be the non-standard module at level mm, let P(V−Λm)P(V^{\Lambda_m}_-) and P(V+Λm)P(V^{\Lambda_m}_+) denote its lowest- and highest-weight portions, and let WFibW_{\mathcal F ib} be the Weyl group of Fib{\mathcal F}ib. For a weight μ\mu, write Multλ(μ)Mult_\lambda(\mu) for its multiplicity, let det⁡(w)\det(w) be the Weyl-group determinant, and set

ρ=λ1+λ2.\rho=\lambda_1+\lambda_2.

Racah–Speiser recursion conjecture. For m=±1,±2m=\pm1,\pm2, the weights of P(V−Λm)P(V^{\Lambda_m}_-) follow

Multλ(μ)=−∑1≠w∈WFibdet⁡(w) Multλ(μ+(wρ−ρ)),Mult_\lambda(\mu)=-\sum_{1\neq w\in W_{\mathcal F}ib}\det(w)\,Mult_\lambda\bigl(\mu+(w\rho-\rho)\bigr),

and the weights of P(V+Λm)P(V^{\Lambda_m}_+) follow

Multλ(μ)=−∑1≠w∈WFibdet⁡(w) Multλ(μ−(wρ−ρ)).Mult_\lambda(\mu)=-\sum_{1\neq w\in W_{\mathcal F}ib}\det(w)\,Mult_\lambda\bigl(\mu-(w\rho-\rho)\bigr).

The computed weight data for the non-standard modules does not follow the Kac–Peterson recursion and instead exhibits the stated Racah–Speiser pattern. The claim is presented as an observed conjectural recursion for levels m=±1,±2m=\pm1,\pm2.
