In representation theory, a Jantzen filtration is a filtration of a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra, or a Weyl module of a reductive algebraic group of positive characteristic. Jantzen filtrations were introduced by Jantzen (1979).
Jantzen filtration for Verma modules
If M(λ) is a Verma module of a semisimple Lie algebra with highest weight λ, then the Janzen filtration is a decreasing filtration
M
(
λ
)
=
M
(
λ
)
0
⊇
M

M
(

⋯
.
{\displaystyle M(\lambda )=M(\lambda )^{0}\supseteq M(\lambda )^{1}\supseteq M(\lambda )^{2}\supseteq \cdots .}
It has the following properties:
M(λ)1=N(λ), the unique maximal proper submodule of M(λ)
The quotients M(λ)i/M(λ)i+1 have non-degenerate contravariant bilinear forms.
The Jantzen sum formula holds:

{\displaystyle \sum _{i>0}{\text{Ch}}(M(\lambda )^{i})=\sum _{\alpha >0,s_{\alpha }(\lambda )<\lambda }{\text{Ch}}(M(s_{\alpha }\cdot \lambda ))}
where

{\displaystyle {\text{Ch}}(\cdot )}
