Abstract:

For each integer $t>0$ and each simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak {g}$, we determine the least dimension of an irreducible highest weight representation of $\mathfrak {g}$ whose highest weight has width $t$. As a consequence, we classify all irreducible modules whose dimension equals a product of two primes. This consequence, which was in fact the driving force behind our paper, answers a question of N. Katz.
