The single-weight isotypy criterion for gl_n #
This file packages highest-weight existence and uniqueness into isotypy criteria for modules over the general linear Lie algebra. If every irreducible submodule has the same highest weight, then every pair of irreducible submodules is equivalent. Under complete reducibility, the module is the direct sum of copies of the named irreducible with that weight when the module is nonzero. For the zero module, the result is the empty direct sum and makes no dominance or irreducibility claim about the named carrier.
The foundational LieModule.IsIsotypic assertion is pairwise. The counted direct-sum theorem adds
complete reducibility explicitly, since it is not automatic for representations of a reductive Lie
algebra unless its centre acts semisimply.

If every irreducible submodule of a gl_n-module carries a highest-weight vector of weight
mu, and an irreducible module S carries one too, then the original module is isotypic of type
S.
This supplied-vector form does not require finite-dimensionality or an algebraically closed field.
If every irreducible submodule of a gl_n-module carries a highest-weight vector of weight
mu, then the module is isotypic.
This form does not require finite-dimensionality or an algebraically closed field: those hypotheses are only needed to produce the highest-weight vectors, which are supplied here.
Every nonzero finite-dimensional submodule of a gl_N-module over an algebraically closed field
contains a highest-weight vector of weight mu, when all highest-weight vectors in that submodule
have that weight.
The single-weight isotypy criterion for gl_N. If every highest-weight vector in a
finite-dimensional gl_N-module over an algebraically closed field has weight mu, then every
pair of irreducible submodules is equivalent.
If an irreducible gl_N-module S carries a highest-weight vector of weight mu, then a
finite-dimensional module over an algebraically closed field whose highest-weight vectors all have
weight mu is isotypic of type S.
If all highest-weight vectors in a nonzero finite-dimensional gl_N-module over an
algebraically closed field have weight mu, then mu is dominant integral.
The single-weight fixed-carrier criterion for gl_N. A finite-dimensional module over an
algebraically closed field whose highest-weight vectors all have weight mu is isotypic of type
glIrreducible N mu. For the zero module this holds vacuously.
The single-weight direct-sum criterion for gl_N. A finite-dimensional completely
reducible gl_N-module over an algebraically closed field whose highest-weight vectors all have
weight mu is the direct sum of
LieModule.isotypicMultiplicity copies of the named irreducible glIrreducible N mu.
Complete reducibility is an explicit hypothesis: it is not automatic for a reductive Lie algebra, whose centre may act non-semisimply. For a nonzero module the weight is dominant integral, so the named carrier is irreducible. For the zero module the multiplicity is zero, and the theorem only identifies the empty direct sum without making a claim about the carrier.
