On special covariants in the exterior algebra of a simple Lie algebra
arXiv:1404.4222
Abstract
We study the subspace of the exterior algebra of a simple complex Lie algebra linearly spanned by the copies of the little adjoint representation or, in the case of the Lie algebra of traceless matrices, by the copies of the n-th symmetric power of the defining representation. As main result we prove that this subspace is a free module over the subalgebra of the exterior algebra generated by all primitive invariants except the one of highest degree.
