Polynomially and Infinitesimally Injective Modules

Abstract: The injective polynomial modules for a general linear group $G$ of degree $n$ are labelled by the partitions with at most $n$ parts. Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we consider the question of which partitions correspond to polynomially injective modules that are also injective as modules for the restricted enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of $G$. The question is related to the "index of divisibility" of a polynomial module in general, and an explicit answer is given for $n=2$.
