Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple complex Lie algebra. Let $\mathfrak{g}\subset\mathfrak{so}(V)$ be an orthogonal irreducible representation. It can be shown that the number of $\mathfrak{g}$-submodules of $V\otimes V$ isomorphic to $\mathfrak{g}$ equals to the number of non-zero labels on the Dynkin diagram defining the representation $\mathfrak{g}\subset\mathfrak{so}(V)$. Since $\wedge^2V\simeq\mathfrak{so}(V)$, one exemplar $\mathfrak{g}$ is included in $\wedge^2V$.
Using the Lie package, I checked many representations of $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{so}(n,C)$, and for all of them all $\mathfrak{g}$ are included in $\wedge^2V$. But for $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}(n,C)$ this is not the case.
Can one say what number of $\mathfrak{g}$-modules isomorphic to $\mathfrak{g}$ are in $\wedge^2V$, and what number of them are in $S^2V$?
