The root system of the complex special linear Lie algebra sl6​(C) is {ei​−ej​:1≤i=j≤6} in ∑i​xi​=0. Its simple roots ei​−ei+1​ give a five-node An Dynkin diagram. The defining fundamental representation has six weights wi​=ei​−61​∑j​ej​. The dual representation has weights −wi​, and the two-index antisymmetric representation has fifteen weights wi​+wj​, i<j, all with weight multiplicity one.
