Abstract

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a complex simple Lie algebra and Z(g)Z(\mathfrak{g}) be the center of the universal enveloping algebra U(g)U(\mathfrak{g}). Denote by VλV_\lambda the finite-dimensional irreducible g\mathfrak{g}-module with highest weight λ\lambda. Lehrer and Zhang defined the notion of strongly multiplicity free representations for simple Lie algebras motivated by studying the structure of the endomorphism algebra EndU(g)(Vλr)\text{End}_{U(\mathfrak{g})}(V_{\lambda}^{\otimes r}) in terms of the quotients of the Kohno's infinitesimal braid algebra. Kostant introduced the g\mathfrak{g}-invariant endomorphism algebras Rλ(g)=(EndVλU(g))gR_\lambda(\mathfrak{g})= (\text{End} V_\lambda\otimes U(\mathfrak{g}))^\mathfrak{g} and Rλ,π(g)=(EndVλπ(U(g)))g.R_{\lambda,\pi}(\mathfrak{g})=(\text{End} V_\lambda\otimes \pi (U(\mathfrak{g})))^\mathfrak{g}. In this paper, we give some other criteria for a multiplicity free representation to be strongly multiplicity free by classifying the pairs (g,Vλ)(\mathfrak{g}, V_\lambda), which are multiplicity free and for such pairs, Rλ(g)R_\lambda(\mathfrak{g}) and Rλ,π(g)R_{\lambda,\pi}(\mathfrak{g}) are generated by generalizations of the quadratic Casimir elements of Z(g)Z(\mathfrak{g}).
