The statement is not true in other types, and we propose a conjectural statement of a weaker correspondence. Namely, we introduce distinguished subsets of the Weyl group on which the join operation conjecturally agrees with the intersections of Verma modules. We also relate our conjecture with a statement about the socles of the cokernels of inclusions between Verma modules. The latter determines the first Ext spaces between a simple module and a Verma module. We give a conjectural complete description of such socles, which we verify in a number of cases. Along the way, we determine the poset structure of the join-irreducible elements in Weyl groups and obtain closed formulae for certain families of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-02T16:36:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "verma module", "join operation", "bruhat order", "weyl group", "conjectural complete description" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
