Branching problem of tensoring two Verma modules and its application to differential symmetry breaking operators

Abstract

Kobayashi-Pevzner discovered in [Selecta Math., 2016] that the failure of the multiplicity-one property in the fusion rule of Verma modules of sl2 occurs exactly when the Rankin-Cohen bracket vanishes, and 1classified all the corresponding parameters. In this paper we provide yet another characterization for these parameters, and give a precise description of indecomposable components of the tensor product. Furthermore, we discuss when the tensor products of two Verma modules are isomorphic to each other for semisimple Lie algebras g.
