Jul 4, 2014 at 9:47 comment added Peter Kravchuk I tried using Freudenthal's formula, it indeed does simplify a lot for minuscule representations. It gives information about $(\varpi,\rho)$,however, I have not yet been able to relate it to squared norm of $\varpi$. Though I get some weird relations like $(\varpi,4\rho)=|\Delta|-|\Delta/\varpi|$, where $\Delta$ is the set of all roots, and $\Delta/\varpi$ is the set of roots obtained by deleting the node corresponding to $\varpi$ from Dynkin diagram, which is at least fun.
