Weyl modules are a family of representations associated with Lie algebras and are particularly important in the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras. They are named after Hermann Weyl, who made significant contributions to the field of representation theory. ### Definition For a semisimple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) over a field, a Weyl module \(V_\lambda\) is constructed for a given dominant integral weight \(\lambda\).
