Abstract

We construct every finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the simple Lie algebra of type $E_7$ whose highest weight is a nonnegative integer multiple of the dominant minuscule weight associated with the type $E_7$ root system. As a consequence, we obtain constructions of each finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the simple Lie algebra of type $E_6$ whose highest weight is a nonnegative integer linear combination of the two dominant minuscule $E_6$-weights. Our constructions are explicit in the sense that, if the representing space is $d$-dimensional, then a weight basis is provided such that all entries of the $d d$ representing matrices of the Chevalley generators are obtained via explicit, non-recursive formulas. To effect this work, we introduce what we call $E_6$- and $E_7$-polyminuscule lattices that analogize certain lattices associated with the famous special linear Lie algebra representation constructions obtained by Gelfand and Tsetlin.
