A flag manifold of a compact semisimple Lie group G is defined as a quotient M = G / K where K is the centralizer of a one-parameter subgroup exp ( t x ) of G . Then M can be identified with the adjoint orbit of x in the Lie algebra 𝒢 of G . Two flag manifolds M = G / K and M ' = G / K ' are equivalent if there exists an automorphism φ : G G such that φ ( K ) = K ' (equivalent manifolds need not be G -diffeomorphic since φ is not assumed to be inner). In this article, explicit formulas for decompositions of the isotropy representation for all flag manifolds appearing in algebras of the classical series A , B , C , D , are derived. The answer involves painted Dynkin graphs which, by a result of the author [“Flag manifolds”, Reprint ESI 415, (1997) see also Zb. Rad., Beogr. 6(14), 3–35 (1997; Zbl 0946.53025)], classify flag manifolds. The Lie algebra 𝒦 of K admits the natural decomposition 𝒦 = 𝒯 + 𝒦 ' where

AB - A flag manifold of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ is defined as a quotient $M=G/K$ where $K$ is the centralizer of a one-parameter subgroup $\exp (tx)$ of $G$. Then $M$ can be identified with the adjoint orbit of $x$ in the Lie algebra $\mathcal {G}$ of $G$. Two flag manifolds $M=G/K$ and $M^{\prime }=G/K^{\prime }$ are equivalent if there exists an automorphism $\phi : G\rightarrow G$ such that $\phi (K)=K^{\prime }$ (equivalent manifolds need not be $G$-diffeomorphic since $\phi $ is not assumed to be inner). In this article, explicit formulas for decompositions of the isotropy representation for all flag manifolds appearing in algebras of the classical series $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$, are derived. The answer involves painted Dynkin graphs which, by a result of the author [“Flag manifolds”, Reprint ESI 415, (1997) see also Zb.
