Abstract

Let GG be a compact semisimple Lie group and TT be a maximal torus of GG. We describe a method for weight multiplicity computation in unitary irreducible representations of GG, based on the theory of Berezin quantization on G/TG/T. Let Γhol(Lλ)\Gamma_{\rm hol}(\mathcal{L}^{\lambda}) be the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic sections of the homogeneous line bundle Lλ\mathcal{L}^{\lambda} over G/TG/T associated with the highest weight λ\lambda of the irreducible representation πλ\pi_{\lambda} of GG. The multiplicity of a weight mm in πλ\pi_{\lambda} is computed from functional analytical structure of the Berezin symbol of the projector in Γhol(Lλ)\Gamma_{\rm hol}(\mathcal{L}^{\lambda}) onto subspace of weight mm. We describe a method of the construction of this symbol and the evaluation of the weight multiplicity as a rank of a Hermitian form. The application of this method is described in a number of examples.
