where g V is equal to V as a vector space and where each x 2 g acts on g V as<br />

Ad(g ,1 )(x) actsonV .<br />

In case V = U (g) U (pI) M with M as above one checks easily that<br />

g V ' Ug (g) Ug (Ad(g)pI) g M ' Ug (g) U (pI) g M:<br />

For the second equality use that Ad(g)pI = pI s<strong>in</strong>ce g 2 Ru(PI) and apply E.6(3).<br />

For each x 2 pI the di erence Ad(g ,1 )x , x belongs to the nilradical <strong>of</strong> pI. This<br />

nilradical acts trivially on M. Therefore g M is isomorphic to M as a pI{module.<br />

We get thus<br />

g V ' Ug (g) U (pI) M: (3)<br />

Let F be the composition <strong>of</strong> the functor <strong>in</strong> (2) with the equivalence <strong>of</strong> categories<br />

V 0 7! (V 0 ) u from [6], with u as <strong>in</strong> E.1. Then F is an equivalence <strong>of</strong> categories<br />

from U (g){modules to Ug (l){modules with F(V )=( g V ) u . Comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g (3) and<br />

Proposition E.5 we get (1).<br />

F<br />

We assume <strong>in</strong> this section that (B1), (B2), and (D1) hold. From F.5 on we shall<br />

also assume (D2).<br />

F.1. Let be a simple root. We write (as before) p = b +<br />

g, for the<br />

correspond<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>in</strong>imal parabolic subalgebra <strong>of</strong> g. Let<br />

We want to show:<br />

be a root orthogonal to<br />

Proposition: Suppose that the root system R \ (Q + Q ) has type A1 A1 or<br />

B2. In the second case assume that is a short root <strong>in</strong> that subsystem. Then we<br />

have<br />

Homg(Z (s ; );Z ( ; )) 6= 0 (1)<br />

for all 2 X and all 2 g with (p )=0.<br />

The pro<strong>of</strong> will occupy the follow<strong>in</strong>g subsections until F.4. We shall rst prove<br />

the proposition <strong>in</strong> the rank 2 case (i.e., if R = R \ (Q + Q )) and then use the<br />

`old S' to reduce to that case.<br />

Remark: This proposition does not generalise to the situation where R\(Q +Q )<br />

has type B2 and where is long. For example, if R is <strong>of</strong> type B2, then [10],<br />

3.13 shows that there exist simple modules Z ( 1; 1) and Z ( 3; 1) that are not<br />

isomorphic to each other, but where 3 = s 1 with the positive root orthogonal<br />

to 1.<br />

F.2. Lemma: Proposition F.1 holds if R is <strong>of</strong> type A1 A1.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong> : In this case also is a simple root. Let e be the <strong>in</strong>teger with 0 e
