Parabolic induction for Takiff algebras and character formulas in Chari's category $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}$
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra, and let $\mathcal{C}_N\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}\otimes (\mathbb{C}[t]/t^{N+1}\mathbb{C}[t])$ denote the $N$-th Takiff algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. We introduce a notion of parabolic subalgebras of $\mathcal{C}_N\mathfrak{g}$ and classify them in t...
