In algebra, a Jantzen filtration is a filtration of a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra, or a Weyl module of a reductive algebraic group of positive characteristic. Jantzen filtrations were introduced by Jantzen (1979).

Jantzen filtration for Verma modules

If M(λ) is a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra with highest weight λ, then the Janzen filtration is a decreasing filtration

M ( λ ) = M ( λ ) 0 M ( λ ) 1 M ( λ ) 2 .

It has the following properties:

  • M(λ)1 is the maximal proper submodule of M(λ)
  • The quotients M(λ)k/M(λ)k+1 have non-degenerate contravariant bilinear forms.
  • i > 0 Ch ( M ( λ ) i ) = α > 0 , s α ( λ ) < λ Ch ( M ( s α ( λ ) ) )
  • (the Jantzen sum formula)
