On the reducibility of scalar generalized Verma modules associated to two-step nilpotent parabolic subalgebras

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple complex Lie algebra.A generalized Verma module induced from a one-dimensional representation of a parabolic subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$ is called a scalar generalized Verma module of $\mathfrak{g}$. In this article, we use Gelfand-Kirillov dimension to determine the reducibility of scalar generalized Verma modules of $\mathfrak{g}$ associated to a two-step nilpotent parabolic subalgebra of non-maximal type. Such a module exists only when $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C})$, $\mathfrak{so}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ or $E_6$. We find that the reducible points of these modules can be drawn in a two-dimensional complex plane.
