Maximal dimension in mixed SU(3) tensor powers
ID: maximal-dimension-in-mixed-su-3-tensor-powers
For , the exact largest constituent dimension of a mixed SU(3) tensor representation isEvery constituent highest weight lies below , so its labels have the form for nonnegative integers . If both are positive, reducing each by their minimum increases both and strictly increases the dimension. The resulting boundary labels occur: antisymmetrize disjoint upper pairs into lower indices, or lower pairs into upper indices, then take the symmetric traceless component. This proves the maximum formula. For , the fully symmetric dimension is 21 but has dimension 24. For , the fully symmetric traceless dimension is the maximum.
