A highest weight module is a type of representation of a semisimple Lie algebra characterized by the existence of a unique maximal weight, known as the highest weight. These modules allow for the systematic study of representations and their decomposition, particularly in relation to the structure of semisimple Lie algebras and their representations, including Verma modules, which are important in constructing these highest weight modules.
congrats on reading the definition of Highest weight module. now let's actually learn it.
