Kostant's Weight Multiplicity Formula and the Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers

英文摘要：

Consider the weight $λ$ which is the sum of all simple roots of a simple Lie algebra. Using Kostant's weight multiplicity formula we describe and enumerate the contributing terms to the multiplicity of the zero weight in the representation with highest weight $λ$. We prove that in Lie algebras of type $A$ and $B$, the number of contributing terms to the multiplicity of the zero-weight space in the representation with highest weight $λ$ is given by a Fibonacci number, and that in Lie algebras of type $C$ and $D$, the analogous result is given by a multiple of a Lucas number.
