ON EXTENDED WEIGHT MONOIDS OF SPHERICAL HOMOGENEOUS SPACES

Abstract

Given a connected reductive complex algebraic group $G$ and a spherical subgroup $H \subset G$, the extended weight monoid $\widehat \Lambda^+_G(G/H)$ encodes the $G$-module structures on spaces of global sections of all $G$-linearized line bundles on $G/H$. Assuming that $G$ is semisimple and simply connected and $H$ is specified by a regular embedding in a parabolic subgroup $P \subset G$, in this paper we obtain a description of $\widehat \Lambda^+_G(G/H)$ via the set of simple spherical roots of $G/H$ together with certain combinatorial data explicitly computed from the pair $(P,H)$. As an application, we deduce a new proof of a result of Avdeev and Gorfinkel describing $\widehat \Lambda^+_G(G/H)$ in the case where $H$ is strongly solvable.
