Minimal polynomials of simple highest weight modules over classical Lie algebras

Abstract

We completely determine the minimal polynomial of an arbitrary simple highest weight module $L(λ)$ over a complex classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}\subseteq\mathfrak{gl}_N$ relative to its defining module $π=\mathbb{C}^{N}$. These results are applied to ordering on primitive ideals and algebraic properties of Howe duality correspondence.
