Global sections of line bundles on a wonderful compactification of the general linear group

Abstract

In a previous paper we have constructed a compactification KGlnKGl_n of the general linear group GlnGl_n, which in many respects is analogous to the so called wonderful compactification of adjoint semisimple algebraic groups as studied by De Concini and Procesi. In particular there is an action of G=Gln×GlnG=Gl_n\times Gl_n on this compactification. In this paper we show how the space of global section of an arbitrary GG-linearized line bundle on KGlnKGl_n decomposes canonically into a direct sum of simple GG-modules which are themselves given as the spaces of global sections of line bundles on the product of two copies of the full flag manifold parametrizing flags in an nn-dimensional vector space.
