Kostant's partition function counts the number of distinct ways to express a weight of a classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as a sum of positive roots of $\mathfrak{g}$. We refer to each of these expressions as decompositions of a weight.…

Even though weight multiplicity formulas, such as Kostant's formula, exist their computational use is extremely cumbersome. In fact, even in cases when the multiplicity is well understood, the number of terms considered in Kostant's formula…

We show that permutation weights, which are previously introduced for finite Lie algebras, can be appropriately defined also for affine Lie algebras. This allows us to classify all the weights of an affine Weyl orbit explicitly. Let…
