The composition-factor multiplicity conjecture for Kac modules of gl(m/n)\mathfrak{gl}(m/n)

About 28 years old · traced to

Let μ\mu be integral dominant and rr-fold atypical with respect to the roots γ1<γ2<⋯<γr\gamma_1<\gamma_2<\cdots<\gamma_r (γi∈Δ1,+\gamma_i\in\Delta_{1,+}), and let ki=#∇(γi)k_i=\#\nabla(\gamma_i). For θ=(θ1,…,θr)∈{0,1}r\theta=(\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_r)\in\{0,1\}^r, define

λθ=d˙(μθ)=d˙(μ+∑i=1rθikiγi).\lambda_\theta={\dot d}(\mu_\theta)={\dot d}\left(\mu+\sum_{i=1}^r\theta_i k_i\gamma_i\right).

The composition-factor multiplicity conjecture. For each of the 2r2^r integral dominant weights λθ\lambda_\theta, aλθ,μ=1a_{\lambda_\theta,\mu}=1, and aλ,μ=0a_{\lambda,\mu}=0 for every other weight λ\lambda.

This gives a simple description of the composition factors of the Kac module associated with an integral dominant atypical weight. The claim is presented as the paper's main result, but the supplied material does not establish its resolution.
