Verma modules, named after Daya-Nand Verma, are objects in the representation theory of Lie algebras, a branch of mathematics.
Verma modules can be used to prove that an irreducible highest weight module with highest weight is finite-dimensional, if and only if the weight is dominant and integral. Their homomorphisms correspond to invariant differential operators over flag manifolds.
The definition relies on a stack of relatively dense notation. Let be a field and denote the following:
