Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 7. Finite dimensional modules over a split semi-simple Lie algebra
Retain the notations of Prop. 9. Let C be the isotypical component of of highest weight . Then C depends only on E and F and not on the choice of and the basis B. In other words, let be a splitting Cartan subalgebra of the root system of , and a basis of ; let be the highest weights of relative to and ; let be the isotypical component of of highest weight ; then . Indeed, to prove this we can assume, by extension of the base field, that is algebraically closed. Then there exists Aut that takes to to to . Let have the properties in Prop. 2 of no. 1. Then and S(C) = C. Hence , so . Thus, to 2 classes of finite dimensional simple -modules we can associate canonically a third; in other words, we have defined on the set of classes of finite dimensional simple -modules a composition law. With this structure, is canonically isomorphic to the additive monoid .
Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
