I need to work out the weight systems for the fundamental representation 5 and the conjugate representation ¯5. I'm not clear what this means. The 5 representation is of course just the representation of SU(5) by itself. After picking a Cartan subalgebra as the diagonal matrices with zero trace, we can of course see that the roots are Li−Lj where Li picks out the ith element on the diagonal, and the weights are simply Li in this case.
It is supposed to be the case that I can use the weight systems of representations to show for instance that 5⊗5=10⊕15.
