Weight zero in tensor-decomposable irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups

Representation Theory 2021-04-13 v2

Abstract

Let GG be a simple algebraic group in defining characteristic p>0p>0, and let VV be an irreducible GG-module which is the tensor product of exactly two non-trivial modules. We obtain a criterion for VV to have the zero weight. In addition, we provide a uniform criterion for an irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra over the complex numbers to have a multiple of a prescribed fundamental weight.
