Abstract

In this paper we find the multiplicities $\dim L(\lambda)_{\lambda-\alpha}$ where $\alpha$ is an {\em arbitrary} root and $L(\lambda)$ is an irreducible $SL_n$-module with highest weight $\lambda$. We provide different bases of the corresponding weight spaces and outline some applications to the symmetric groups. In particular we describe certain composition multiplicities in the modular branching rule.
