Abstract

Abstract In this short note, we show that every connected semisimple simply-connected algebraic group of rank $$>1$$ > 1 over the complex numbers has infinitely many pairs of irreducible representations which are not related by an automorphism of the algebraic group and which have the same degree. This answers a question I was asked by J.P. Serre.
