Let $mathfrakg$ be a simple Lie algebra (e.g. $mathfraksl_n$), and let $M_lambda$ be the Verma module with highest weight $lambda$.
Is there a simple formula for $dim (M_lambda)_mu$, where $(M_lambda)_mu$ denotes the weight space with weight $mu$? Of course Weyl character formula gives me the generating function, but I am looking for a closed form formula for $dim (M_lambda)_mu$.




Edit : Apparently this is called the Kostant partition function.

    Which formulation of Weyl's character formula do you mean? I recall it usually being given directly, rather than via a generating function.

    @TobiasKildetoft For instance, if you expand $1/Delta(z)$ into a power series where $Delta(z)$ is a Weyl denominator, the coefficients of this series are the certain dimensions that I want.

    As you write in your edit, it's the Kostant partition function: the number of ways to write $lambda-mu$ as a non-negative integer linear combination of positive roots. You won't get a better formula than that in general.

    @Stephen But isn't Kostant partition function piecewise polynomial? If an explicit form of the piecewise polynomial is known for, say, $A_n$, then that would be helpful.
