Minkowski-sum lattice-point formula for G2G_2 representations

About 10 years old · traced to

Let λ=m1ϖ1+m2ϖ2∈P+\lambda=m_1\varpi_1+m_2\varpi_2\in\mathcal{P}_+, and let G2ϖ1(1)\boldsymbol{G_2^{\varpi_1}}(1) and G2ϖ2(1)\boldsymbol{G_2^{\varpi_2}}(1) be the polytopes defined by the displayed inequalities in the source. Let e3,e5e_3,e_5 be the corresponding standard basis vectors of R6\mathbb{R}^6. Minkowski-sum formula. The number of lattice points in

m1G2ϖ1(1)+m2(G2ϖ2(1)∪{3e3,3e5})m_1\boldsymbol{G_2^{\varpi_1}}(1)+m_2\left(\boldsymbol{G_2^{\varpi_2}}(1)\cup\{3e_3,3e_5\}\right)

coincides with dim⁡V(m1ϖ1+m2ϖ2)\dim V(m_1\varpi_1+m_2\varpi_2).

This gives a proposed lattice-point model for dimensions of all finite-dimensional G2G_2 representations, extending the explicitly analyzed fundamental representations. The excerpt does not state whether the formula has been proved or remains open.
