The G2 dimension polynomial gives dimension seven at the short-root fundamental weight, soThe crystal of the seven-dimensional G2 representation is a chain whose weights, in order, areIts successive arrow colors are , as drawn above. Each arrow subtracts its indicated simple root; in particular the central three vertices form a length-two string of color one. The six nonzero weights are exactly the six short roots, each with multiplicity one, and the zero weight also has multiplicity one.
