   In particular, \(V_\mu \ne 0\), so \(V_\mu = \mathcal{M}_\mu\). Now given any
   irreducible \(\mathfrak{g}\)-module \(W\), the multiplicity of \(W\) in
   \(\mathcal{M}[\lambda]\) is the same as the multiplicity \(W_\mu\) in
-  \(\mathcal{M}\) as a \(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})_0\)-module, which is, of
+  \(\mathcal{M}_\mu\) as a \(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})_0\)-module, which is, of
   course, \(1\) if \(W \cong V\) and \(0\) otherwise. Hence
   \(\mathcal{M}[\lambda] = V\) and \(\mathcal{M}[\lambda]\) is cuspidal.
