May 20, 2013 at 12:20 comment added Jim Humphreys P.S. The paper by King-Wybourne requires the added hypothesis that $V(\lambda)$ (in the above formula I was told about) is self-dual. This is true for the adjoint module in your special case, but I'm uncertain whether the added hypothesis is really needed or not. I wonder whether the newer methods make that clear?

May 11, 2013 at 13:27 comment added Jim Humphreys @Allen: Yes, it seems reasonable to get this from the recent methods, but I'm curious about who first wrote this down (and where, why, how). There's a fairly extensive literature, hard to search: Dynkin, Kostant, Dixmier, Joseph, .... Kempf too had papers on tensor product decompositions, from the geometric viewpoint.
May 10, 2013 at 12:43 comment added Allen Knutson Obviously I didn't know this more general result, but Evan Jenkins' modern proof generalizes easily enough. Restate as ${\rm Hom}(V(\lambda),{\mathfrak g}\otimes V(\lambda))$. Then we're looking at appending a $\Theta$-path of weight $0$ to a dominant $\lambda$-path, keeping the whole inside the dominant chamber (here $\Theta$) is the highest root. There are $rank(\lie{g})$ many $\Theta$-paths of weight $0$, of course, and the Lakshmibai-Seshadri ones go $0 \to -\alpha/2 \to 0$.
