✦ Synopsis


We give a computer-free proof of the Deligne, Cohen and de Man formulas for the dimensions of the irreducible g-modules appearing in g k ; k44; where g ranges over the exceptional complex simple Lie algebras. We give additional dimension formulas for the exceptional series, as well as uniform dimension formulas for other representations distinguished by Freudenthal along the rows of his magic chart. Our proofs use the triality model of the magic square, which we review and present a simplified proof of its validity. We conclude with some general remarks about obtaining ''series'' of Lie algebras in the spirit of Deligne and Vogel.

Let ⌫ be a countable abelian semigroup satisfying a suitable finiteness condition, and let L s [ L be the free Lie algebra generated by a ⌫-graded vector space V over C. In this paper, from the denominator identity, we derive a dimension formula for the homogeneous subspaces of the free Lie algebra
