It is well known that the principal block $\mathcal{O}_0$ of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of a semisimple Lie algebra is equivalent to the category of finitely generated modules over a certain Koszul algebra. Namely, if we let $W$ denote the Weil group and take $P=\bigoplus_{w\in W}P_w$ to be a projective generator in $\mathcal{O}_0$ (Where $P_w$ is the projective cover of the simple module $L_w:=L(w\cdot 0)$), then denoting $A:=\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{O}_0}(P)^{\text{op}}$ we get that $A$ is a Koszul algebra and the functor $\operatorname{Hom}(P,*):\mathcal{O}_0\to A\operatorname{-mod}^{\text{fg}}$ is an equivalence.

I was wondering if there are any more explicit descriptions of this algebra (In terms of some of more "classical" algebras, or even just in terms of generators and relations, etc.). All of these things are very classical so there probably are such descriptions out there but I didn't manage to find any.

Any references would be greatly appreciated!

    $\begingroup$ You should look into Soergel's (bi)modules, which provide a pretty explicit (but combinatorially involved) algorithm to answer this question. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @sdr thanks for your comment. I am familiar to some extent with Soergel bimodules (admittedly, not particularly deeply) do you have any more specific information on what I should look up? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 17, 2022 at 10:03

    $\begingroup$ You could look at early papers of Stroppel, as as Marc Sauerwein's paper. Both use Soergel modules to write down quiver with relations in small examples. It gets complicated fast though! $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 18, 2022 at 22:05

You can find quiver and relations (not sure if they are admissible always) here: http://www.math.uni-bonn.de/ag/stroppel/Quivers.pdf In particular the explicit algebra is only fully understoof for $sl_4$ and below. See also https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00222-006-0005-2 which gives results on the calculation on the quiver and relations for those blocks. It is an open question whether the field coefficients can always be choosen to be +1 or -1, see the end of this article.
