For the defining four-dimensional representation V of the symplectic Lie algebra sp4​, with the short simple root numbered first, its highest weight is ω1​. Its tensor square decomposes as
V⊗V≅V(2ω1​)⊕V(ω2​)⊕V(0),
(1)
with dimensions 10,5,1. The first summand is the symmetric square; the other two form the exterior square, split by symplectic contraction of an exterior square.
