A Method for Weight Multiplicity Computation Based on Berezin Quantization

Abstract

Let $G$ be a compact semisimple Lie group and $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$. We describe a method for weight multiplicity computation in unitary irreducible representations of $G$, based on the theory of Berezin quantization on $G/T$. Let $\Gamma_{\rm hol}(\mathcal{L}^{\lambda})$ be the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic sections of the homogeneous line bundle $\mathcal{L}^{\lambda}$ over $G/T$ associated with the highest weight $\lambda$ of the irreducible representation $\pi_{\lambda}$ of $G$. The multiplicity of a weight $m$ in $\pi_{\lambda}$ is computed from functional analytical structure of the Berezin symbol of the projector in $\Gamma_{\rm hol}(\mathcal{L}^{\lambda})$ onto subspace of weight $m$. We describe a method of the construction of this symbol and the evaluation of the weight multiplicity as a rank of a Hermitian form. The application of this method is described in a number of examples.
