Structure of certain Weyl modules for the Spin groups

Abstract

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p⩾0$ and let $W$ be a finite-dimensional $K$-space of dimension greater than or equal to $5.$ In this paper, we give the structure of certain Weyl modules for $G=\mbox{Spin}(W)$ in the case where $p\ne 2,$ as well as the dimension of the corresponding irreducible, finite-dimensional, rational $KG$-modules. In addition, we determine the composition factors of the restriction of certain irreducible, finite-dimensional, rational $K\mbox{SL}(W)$-modules to $\mbox{SO}(W).$
