For the special linear Lie algebra sl(3), with Dynkin labels indexing irreducible highest-weight representations,
S2Γ2,1​≅Γ4,2​⊕Γ3,1​⊕Γ0,4​⊕Γ1,2​⊕Γ2,0​.
(1)
The summands have dimensions 60,24,15,15,6, summing to 120=15⋅16/2. The identity follows from the formal character of a weight module formula χS2W​(z)=(χW​(z)2+χW​(z2))/2 and the Weyl character formula.
