Let g be a semi-simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0. For finite dimensional representations of g, the following important results are known;

1) H1(g, V) = 0 for any finite dimensional g space V. This is equivalent to the complete reducibility of all the finite dimensional representations,

2) Determination of all irreducible representations in connection with their highest weights.

3) Weyl’s formula for the character of irreducible representations [9].

4) Kostant’s formula for the multiplicity of weights of irreducible representations [6],

5) The law of the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations [1].
