Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N List of dimensions for which there exist several non-isomorphic irreducible representations of E6.
%C Terms which would be repeated in A121737.
%C There are infinitely many terms in this sequence; see A181746.
%C By symmetry of the Dynkin diagram, with fundamental weights numbered as in Bourbaki there is a duality of highest weights [1,0,0,0,0,0] and [0,0,0,0,0,1]. Similarly, there is a duality of highest weights [0,0,0,0,1,0] and [0,0,1,0,0,0]. Note that E6 is the only exceptional Lie algebra with such a duality. However this duality is not responsible for all pairs of non-isomorphic irreducible E6 representations of equal dimension--see example.
%C There are 6 non-isomorphic irreducible E6 representations of dimension 7183313280, and 8 non-isomorphic irreducible E6 representations of dimension 7980534952482277785600. Both dimensions are minimal with respect to that property. I do not know if such dimensions exist for 9 or more irreducible representations.

%e With the fundamental weights numbered as in Bourbaki, the irreducible E6-modules with highest weights [1,0,0,0,0,0] and [0,0,0,0,0,1] both have dimension 77. The vectors [0,0,0,0,1,0], [0,0,1,0,0,0], [2,0,0,0,0,0], and [0,0,0,0,0,2] are the four highest weights which correspond to irreducible representations of dimension 351.
