As part of their model, they conjecture that (at dominant weights) Lusztig's q-analog of weight multiplicity is equal to the Poincare series of the principal nilpotent filtration of the weight space, as occurs in the finite-dimensional case. We show that the conjectured equality holds for all affine Kac-Moody algebras if the principal nilpotent filtration is replaced by the principal Heisenberg filtration. The main body of the proof is a Lie algebra cohomology vanishing result. We also give an example to show that the Poincare series of the principal nilpotent filtration is not always equal to the q-analog of weight multiplicity. Finally, we give some partial results for indefinite Kac-Moody algebras.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-02-10T22:58:53.000Z", "comment": "14 pages; minor edits in prep. for submission", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2015-02-28T22:40:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "affine kac-moody algebras", "principal nilpotent filtration", "brylinski filtration", "lie algebra cohomology vanishing result", "poincare series" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Adv.
