Let be the five-dimensional defining representation of the so5 Lie algebra. The tensor square splits into its symmetric square and exterior square:The invariant symmetric form spans a trivial subrepresentation of , while its traceless complement is the irreducible of dimension . The identification makes the exterior square the ten-dimensional Adjoint representation, whose highest weight is the highest root . Therefore the Tensor-square decomposition of the defining so5 representation is
