Abstract

Let GG be a complex semisimple simply connected algebraic group. Given two irreducible representations V1V_1 and V2V_2 of GG, we are interested in some components of V1V2V_1\otimes V_2. Consider two geometric realizations of V1V_1 and V2V_2 using the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. Namely, for i=1,2i=1, 2, let \Lii\Li_i be a GG-linearized line bundle on G/BG/B such that Hqi(G/B,\Lii){\rm H}^{q_i}(G/B,\Li_i) is isomorphic to ViV_i. Assume that the cup product Hq1(G/B,\Li1)Hq2(G/B,\Li2)\longtoHq1+q2(G/B,\Li1\Li2) {\rm H}^{q_1}(G/B,\Li_1)\otimes {\rm H}^{q_2}(G/B,\Li_2)\longto {\rm H}^{q_1+q_2}(G/B,\Li_1\otimes\Li_2) is non zero. Then, Hq1+q2(G/B,\Li1\Li2){\rm H}^{q_1+q_2}(G/B,\Li_1\otimes\Li_2) is an irreducible component of V1V2V_1\otimes V_2; such a component is said to be {\it cohomological}. Solving a Dimitrov-Roth conjecture, we prove here that the cohomological components of V1V2V_1\otimes V_2 are exactly the PRV components of stable multiplicity one. Note that Dimitrov-Roth already obtained some particular cases. We also characterize these components in terms of the geometry of the Eigencone of GG. Along the way, we prove that the structure coefficients of the Belkale-Kumar product on H(G/B,\ZZ){\rm H}^*(G/B,\ZZ) in the Schubert basis are zero or one.
