Results are obtained on the
Loewy length and Loewy series of generalized Verma modules and projective modules
in certain categories 𝒪S of modules over a complex, semisimple Lie algebra.
The results obtained rely on a study of the behavior of Loewy series under
translation functors and on the existence of simple projective modules in
suitable blocks of 𝒪S. An example is given of two generalized Verma modules
such that the space of 𝒪S-homomorphisms from the first to the second is
two-dimensional.
