The tensor product of Lie algebra representations decomposes as , of dimensions . The exterior square is and the symmetric square is . Highest-weight vectors and the dimension formula determine the decomposition.
The tensor square has fifteen distinct weights: three outer corners of multiplicity one, six near-corner edge weights of multiplicity two, three edge midpoints of multiplicity three, and three interior weights of multiplicity four. In the irreducible components only is weight-degenerate: each have multiplicity two. All weights of and have multiplicity one.
