Isotypic component

The isotypic component of weight of a Lie algebra module is the sum of all submodules which are isomorphic to the highest weight module with weight .

Definition

.
  • Each finite-dimensional irreducible representation of is uniquely identified (up to isomorphism) by its highest weight
, where denotes the highest weight module with highest weight .
  • In the decomposition of , a certain isomorphism class might appear more than once, hence
.

This defines the isotypic component of weight of V: where is maximal.
