Multiplicity in root components via Geometric Satake

In this note we explicitly construct top-dimensional components of the cyclic convolution varieties. These components correspond (via the geometric Satake equivalence) to irreducible summands $V(\lambda+\mu-N\beta) \subset V(\lambda) \otimes V(\mu)$for$G^\vee=SL_{n+1}$,where$N\ge 1$and$\beta$ is a positive root. Furthermore, we deduce from these constructions a nontrivial lower bound on the multiplicity of these subrepresentations when $\beta$ is not a simple root. Finally, we demonstrate that not all such top-dimensional components can be realized as closures of orbits.
