Minkowski-sum lattice-point formula for representations
Let , and let and be the polytopes defined by the displayed inequalities in the source. Let be the corresponding standard basis vectors of . Minkowski-sum formula. The number of lattice points in
coincides with .
This gives a proposed lattice-point model for dimensions of all finite-dimensional representations, extending the explicitly analyzed fundamental representations. The excerpt does not state whether the formula has been proved or remains open.
