Abstract

Let G be a simple complex classical Lie group with Lie algebra \frak g \frak{g} of rank n. We show that the coefficient of degree k in the Lusztig q -analogue K l, m \frak g( q) K_{λ,μ}^{\frak{g}}(q) associated to the fixed partitions λ  and μ  stabilizes for n sufficiently large. As a consequence, we obtain the stabilization of the dimensions in the Brylinski-Kostant filtration associated to any dominant weight. We then introduce, for each pair of partitions ( λ , μ ), formal series which can be regarded as natural limits of the Lusztig q-analogues. We give a duality property for these limits and recurrence formulas which permit notably to derive explicit expressions when λ  is a row or a column partition.
