Kostant's tensor-product conjecture for the Weyl vector
Let be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with weight lattice notation , and let be the half-sum of its positive roots. For a dominant integral weight , write for the dominance order, and let denote the irreducible highest weight representation of highest weight . Kostant's conjecture. If , then
The conjecture asserts that every dominant highest weight allowed by the dominance bound occurs in the tensor product. It is known for type and up to a saturation factor in general; it has also been checked for exceptional types, but remains open for the other classical simple Lie algebras.
