The weight diagram has weights with multiplicities . An Irreducible Lie algebra representation of the sl2 Lie algebra with highest weight has weights , all of multiplicity one. The top weight therefore forces one summand. Subtracting its formal character leaves weights , each once, which is . By Weyl complete reducibility theorem,Their dimensions account for the entire module.
The exterior-square weight diagram and its two irreducible summands; basis labels are defined in part iii
