Lemma 8.3 · The Hecke label \(\lambda_k\): a dominant lift of \(\mu_k'\) whose cell has dimension \(\delta(\mu_k')\)

proved audit: correct

Second audit: correct.

The coweight \(\lambda_k=\tfrac{3k-1}2\omega_1^\vee+\omega_6^\vee\) is a dominant lift of the covering label \(\mu_k'\), and \(\dim\Gr^{\lambda_k}=\delta(\mu_k')\) because \(\lambda_k\) is orthogonal to the black \(D_4\). This equality is why the fibre over \(\mu_k'\) can be finite.

Lemma 8.3.

For odd \(k\) let \(c_k=\tfrac{3k-1}2\) and \(\lambda_k:=c_k\omega_1^\vee+\omega_6^\vee\). Then

  1. \(\lambda_k\in\Lambda_T^+\);
  2. \(\varphi(\lambda_k)=\mu_k'=(3k-1,2)\);
  3. \(\dim\Gr^{\lambda_k}=\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=8(3k+1)=\delta(\mu_k')\);
  4. \(\langle\rho_L,\lambda_k\rangle=0\), where \(\rho_L\) is half the sum of the positive roots of the black \(D_4\).

More generally, \(\langle2\rho,\lambda\rangle-\delta(\varphi\lambda)=\langle2\rho_L,\lambda\rangle\) for every \(\lambda\in\Lambda_T\).

  1. \(c_k\) is a nonnegative integer because \(k\) is odd. The coweights \(\omega_1^\vee,\omega_6^\vee\) have classes \(1,2\) in \(P^\vee/\Lambda_T\cong\Z/3\) (family page, section 5), so \(\lambda_k\) has class \(c_k+2=\tfrac{3(k+1)}2\equiv0\) and lies in \(\Lambda_T\). It is dominant because \(c_k\ge0\).
  2. \(\theta=-w_L\) negates \(\omega_1^\vee\) and \(\omega_6^\vee\), so \(\varphi(\omega_1^\vee)=2\omega_1^\vee\), \(\varphi(\omega_6^\vee)=2\omega_6^\vee\), and \(\varphi(\lambda_k)=(2c_k,2)=(3k-1,2)\).
  3. \(\langle2\rho,\omega_1^\vee\rangle=\langle2\rho,\omega_6^\vee\rangle=16\), hence \(\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=16(c_k+1)=8(3k+1)=8\big((3k-1)+2\big)=\delta(\mu_k')\) by Lemma 8.2. For the general identity: \(\theta\) fixes the positive black roots and sends the other positive roots to negative roots (family page, section 3), so \(\theta\rho=2\rho_L-\rho\), and
$$\langle2\rho,\lambda\rangle-\langle\rho,\lambda-\theta\lambda\rangle=\langle\rho+\theta\rho,\lambda\rangle=\langle2\rho_L,\lambda\rangle .$$
  1. \(\omega_1^\vee\) and \(\omega_6^\vee\) pair to zero with the black roots.

For \(k=1\), \(\lambda_1=\omega_1^\vee+\omega_6^\vee=2\alpha_1^\vee+2\alpha_2^\vee+3\alpha_3^\vee+4\alpha_4^\vee+3\alpha_5^\vee+2\alpha_6^\vee\), the highest weight of the \(650\)-dimensional representation of the dual group \(E_6^{\mathrm{ad}}\). Its Schubert variety \(\Gr^{\le\lambda_1}=\Gr^{\lambda_1}\sqcup\Gr^{\omega_2^\vee}\sqcup\Gr^0\) (cells of dimensions \(32,22,0\)) is singular. In general \(\lambda_k=\lambda_1+\tfrac{k-1}2\cdot3\omega_1^\vee\), and \(k=1,3,5,7\) give \(\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=32,80,128,176=\delta(\mu_k')\) and \(\langle\rho_L,\lambda_k\rangle=0\).

The Hecke label: lambda_k lifts the covering label and its cell has dimension delta of that label

Lemma. For \(k\) odd let \(c_k=\tfrac{3k-1}2\) and \(\lambda_k:=c_k\omega_1^\vee+\omega_6^\vee\). Then (i) \(\lambda_k\in\Lambda_T^+\); (ii) \(\varphi(\lambda_k)=\mu_k'=(3k-1,2)\); (iii) \(\dim\mathrm{Gr}^{\lambda_k}=\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=8(3k+1)=\delta(\mu_k')\); (iv) \(\langle\rho_L,\lambda_k\rangle=0\), \(\rho_L\) the half-sum of the positive roots of the black \(D_4\).

Proof. (i) \(c_k\in\mathbb Z_{\ge0}\) as \(k\) is odd; the class of \(\lambda_k\) in \(P^\vee/\Lambda_T\cong\mathbb Z/3\) is \(c_k+2=\tfrac{3(k+1)}2\equiv0\) (page §5: \(\omega_1^\vee,\omega_6^\vee\) have classes \(1,2\)). (ii) \(\varphi(\omega_1^\vee)=2\omega_1^\vee\), \(\varphi(\omega_6^\vee)=2\omega_6^\vee\) (page §5 table). (iii) \(\langle2\rho,\omega_1^\vee\rangle=\langle2\rho,\omega_6^\vee\rangle=16\), so \(\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=16(c_k+1)=8(3k+1)=8\big((3k-1)+2\big)=\delta(\mu_k')\) by A8-2(ii). In general \(\langle2\rho,\lambda\rangle-\delta(\varphi\lambda)=\langle\rho,\lambda+\theta\lambda\rangle=\langle2\rho_L,\lambda\rangle\) because \(\theta\rho=2\rho_L-\rho\) (θ fixes \(\Phi_L^+\) and sends \(\Phi^+\setminus\Phi_L\) to \(\Phi^-\), page §3). (iv) \(\omega_1^\vee,\omega_6^\vee\) pair to zero with the black roots. \(\square\)

For \(k=1\): \(\lambda_1=\omega_1^\vee+\omega_6^\vee=(2,2,3,4,3,2)\) in coroot coordinates, the label of the 650-dimensional representation of the dual group \(E_6^{\mathrm{ad}}\); \(\mathrm{Gr}^{\le\lambda_1}=\mathrm{Gr}^{\lambda_1}\sqcup\mathrm{Gr}^{\omega_2^\vee}\sqcup\mathrm{Gr}^0\) (dimensions 32, 22, 0) is singular. For general \(k\): \(\lambda_k=\lambda_1+\tfrac{k-1}2\cdot3\omega_1^\vee\). Script: \(k=1,3,5,7\) give \(\langle2\rho,\lambda_k\rangle=32,80,128,176=\delta(\mu_k')\) and \(\langle\rho_L,\lambda_k\rangle=0\).
