 Highest-weight classification of rational GL representations

The irreducible rational $G{L}_m$ modules are $D_{\lambda }(V)=(\det V{)}^{{\lambda }_m}\otimes D_{\lambda -{\lambda }_m(1,\dots ,1)}(V)$. The second factor is a Schur module. Clearing determinant denominators reduces completeness to the Schur algebra classification of polynomial modules. Distinct dominant integer tuples have distinct highest torus weights. Their characters are symmetric Laurent polynomials; only polynomial modules have characters defined at every singular endomorphism.
