Abstract

Given a connected reductive algebraic group GG, we consider the class of spherical subgroups HGH \subset G such that HH is regularly embedded in a parabolic subgroup PGP \subset G and H,PH,P have a common Levi subgroup LL. In a previous paper, the author developed a fast algorithm that reduces the computation of the set of spherical roots for such subgroups HH to the case where the quotient of Lie algebras LieP/LieH\operatorname{Lie} P / \operatorname{Lie} H is a strictly indecomposable spherical LL-module. In this paper, we complete the classification of all such cases and compute the spherical roots for each of them, which enables one to use the above fast algorithm directly for computing the spherical roots for arbitrary spherical subgroups in the class under consideration.
