On the Determinant of Shapovalov Form for Generalized Verma Modules

We define a generalization of the Shapovalov form for contragradient Lie algebras and compute its determinant for Generalized Verma modules induced from a well-embeddedsl(2,C) subalgebra. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of the BGG-theorem for Generalized Verma modules.
