Tensor-square decomposition of the defining sp4 representation

ID: tensor-square-decomposition-of-the-defining-sp4-representation

For the defining four-dimensional representation of the symplectic Lie algebra , with the short simple root numbered first, its highest weight is . Its tensor square decomposes as
with dimensions . The first summand is the symmetric square; the other two form the exterior square, split by symplectic contraction of an exterior square.
