Extract
Let G be a reductive group over a field of characteristic zero. Fix a Borel subgroup B of G which contains a maximal torus T. For each dominant weight X we have an irreducible representation V(X) of G with highest weight X. For two dominant representation X1 and X2 we have a decomposition
This decomposition is determined by the element
of the group ring of the group of characters of T.
The objective of this paper is to compute r(X1, X2) for all pairs X1 and X2 of fundamental weights. This will be used to compute the equations for cones over homogeneous spaces. This problem immediately reduces to the case when G has simple type; An, Bn, Cn, Dn, E6, E7, E8, F4 and G2. We will give complete details for the classical types. For the case An we will work with GLn.
