Highest weight and conventions

Nodes 1,…,r run along the chain. Fundamental weight 1 is the defining representation of SU(r+1). Long roots have squared length 2; C2(lambda) = (lambda,lambda+2 rho)/2. Complex dimension counts the underlying complex vector space; reality type is an additional invariant. [sources]

Global form and center

The domain is the stated simply connected compact group. The test for descent to its adjoint global form gives no. This divides out the entire center; a different central quotient must be checked against its particular embedded kernel. [sources]

Use in a calculation

Choose the exact domain and highest weight when entering a multiplet. A dimension label can be ambiguous, especially for conjugate spinors or representations related by triality. A tensor multiplicity or Casimir does not determine a basis of matrices or intertwiners. [sources]
