Borel-Weil Theorem


Let G=SL(n,C). If lambda in Z^n is the highest weight of an irreducible holomorphic representation V of G, (i.e., lambda is a dominant integral weight), then the G-map phi:V^*->Gamma(lambda) defined by alpha|->F_alpha, where F_alpha(g)=<alpha,gv>, is an isomorphism. Thus, V=Gamma(lambda)^*.
