Fundamental weights of sl3 (${\omega }_1={\epsilon }_1,{\omega }_2=-{\epsilon }_3$)

For the special linear Lie algebra ${\mathfrak{sl}}_3(\mathbb{C})$ with upper triangular positive roots, the simple coroots are $\mathrm{diag}(1,-1,0)$ and $\mathrm{diag}(0,1,-1)$. Their dual fundamental weights are ${\omega }_1(\mathrm{diag}(t_1,t_2,t_3))=t_1$ and ${\omega }_2(\mathrm{diag}(t_1,t_2,t_3))=t_1+t_2=-t_3$. In simple-root coordinates, ${\omega }_1=(2{\alpha }_1+{\alpha }_2)/3$ and ${\omega }_2=({\alpha }_1+2{\alpha }_2)/3$. The primitive vectors $e_1\in {\mathbb{C}}^3$ and $e_1\wedge e_2\in {\Lambda }^2{\mathbb{C}}^3$ realize these Fundamental representations of sl3.
