For the B2 root system with long simple root first, the four-dimensional spinor representation has highest weight . Its symmetric square has highest weight and dimension ten, so it is the Adjoint representation. The exterior square has the four nonzero defining weights and two zero weights; it splits into the five-dimensional vector representation of highest weight and a trivial representation. Thus the tensor square decomposes as displayed. The invariant alternating bilinear form reflects the pseudoreal representation structure. The spinor representation is a group representation of the Spin group , while its tensor square descends to .
