The multiplicity of a weight in a finite-dimensional irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra g can be computed via Kostants weight multiplicity formula. This formula consists of an alternating sum over the Weyl group (a finite group) and involves a partition function known as Kostants partition function. Motivated by the observation that, in practice, most terms in the sum are zero, our main results describe the elements of the Weyl alternation sets. The Weyl alternation sets are subsets of the Weyl group which contributes nontrivially to the multiplicity of a weight in a highest weight representation of the Lie algebras so_4(C), so_5(C), sp_4(C), and the exceptional Lie algebra g_2. By taking a geometric approach, we extend the work of Harris, Lescinsky, and Mabie on sl_3(C), to provide visualizations of these Weyl alternation sets for all pairs of integral weights lambda and mu of the Lie algebras considered.

The $q$-analog of Kostants weight multiplicity formula is an alternating sum over a finite group, known as the Weyl group, whose terms involve the $q$-analog of Kostants partition function. This formula, when evaluated at $q=1$, gives the multiplicity of a weight in a highest weight representation of a simple Lie algebra. In this paper, we consider the Lie algebra $mathfrak{sl}_4(mathbb{C})$ and give closed formulas for the $q$-analog of Kostants weight multiplicity. This formula depends on the following two sets of results. First, we present closed formulas for the $q$-analog of Kostants partition function by counting restricted colored integer partitions. These formulas, when evaluated at $q=1$, recover results of De Loera and Sturmfels. Second, we describe and enumerate the Weyl alternation sets, which consist of the elements of the Weyl group that contribute nontrivially to Kostants weight multiplicity formula. From this, we introduce Weyl alternation diagrams on the root lattice of $mathfrak{sl}_4(mathbb{C})$, which are associated to the Weyl alternation sets. This work answers a question posed in 2019 by Harris, Loving, Ramirez, Rennie, Rojas Kirby, Torres Davila, and Ulysse.
For a rank two root system and a pair of nonnegative integers, using only elementary combinatorics we construct two posets. The constructions are uniform across the root systems A1+A1, A2, C2, and G2. Examples appear in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. We then form the distributive lattices of order ideals of these posets. Corollary 5.4 gives elegant quotient-of-products expressions for the rank generating functions of these lattices (thereby providing answers to a 1979 question of Stanley). Also, Theorem 5.3 describes how these lattices provide a new combinatorial setting for the Weyl characters of representations of rank two semisimple Lie algebras. Most of these lattices are new; the rest of them (or related structures) have arisen in work of Stanley, Kashiwara, Nakashima, Littelmann, and Molev. In a future paper, one author shows that the posets constructed here form a Dynkin diagram-indexed answer to a combinatorially posed classification question. In a companion paper, some of these lattices are used to explicitly construct some representations of rank two semisimple Lie algebras. This implies that these lattices are strongly Sperner.
Kostants weight $q$-multiplicity formula is an alternating sum over a finite group known as the Weyl group, whose terms involve the $q$-analog of Kostants partition function. The $q$-analog of the partition function is a polynomial-valued function defined by $wp_q(xi)=sum_{i=0}^k c_i q^i$, where $c_i$ is the number of ways the weight $xi$ can be written as a sum of exactly $i$ positive roots of a Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}$. The evaluation of the $q$-multiplicity formula at $q = 1$ recovers the multiplicity of a weight in an irreducible highest weight representation of $mathfrak{g}$. In this paper, we specialize to the Lie algebra $mathfrak{sp}_6(mathbb{C})$ and we provide a closed formula for the $q$-analog of Kostants partition function, which extends recent results of Shahi, Refaghat, and Marefat. We also describe the supporting sets of the multiplicity formula (known as the Weyl alternation sets of $mathfrak{sp}_6(mathbb{C})$), and use these results to provide a closed formula for the $q$-multiplicity for any pair of dominant integral weights of $mathfrak{sp}_6(mathbb{C})$. Throughout this work, we provide code to facilitate these computations.
A procedure is described that makes use of the generating function of characters to obtain a new generating function $H$ giving the multiplicities of each weight in all the representations of a simple Lie algebra. The way to extract from $H$ explicit multiplicity formulas for particular weights is explained and the results corresponding to rank two simple Lie algebras shown.
We present an LLT-type formula for a general power of the nabla operator applied to the Cauchy product for the modified Macdonald polynomials, and use it to deduce a new proof of the generalized shuffle theorem describing $ abla^k e_n$, and the Elias-Hogancamp formula for $( abla^k p_1^n,e_n)$ as corollaries. We give a direct proof of the theorem by verifying that the LLT expansion satisfies the defining properties of $ abla^k$, such as triangularity in the dominance order, as well as a geometric proof based on a method for counting bundles on $mathbb{P}^1$ due to the second author. These formulas are related to an affine paving of the type A unramified affine Springer fiber studied by Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson, and also to Stanleys chromatic symmetric functions.
