Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 9. The formula of Hermann Weyl

Take g\mathfrak{g} to be the splittable simple Lie algebra of type G2G_2 and adopt the notations of Chap. VI, Plate IX. Give hR∗\mathfrak{h}^*_{\mathbf{R}} the W-invariant positive symmetric form (⋅∣⋅)(\cdot | \cdot ) such that (α1∣α1)=1(\alpha_1|\alpha_1) = 1. Then ρ=ϖ1+ϖ2\rho =\varpi_1+\varpi_2 and

(ϖ1∣α1)=12,(ϖ1∣α2)=0,(ϖ1∣α2+α1)=12 (\varpi_1|\alpha_1) =\frac{1}{2},(\varpi_1|\alpha_2) = 0,(\varpi_1|\alpha_2+\alpha_1) =\frac{1}{2}
(ϖ1∣α2+2α1)=1,(ϖ1∣α2+3α1)=32,(ϖ1∣2α2+3α1)=32 (\varpi_1|\alpha_2+ 2\alpha_1) = 1,(\varpi_1|\alpha_2+ 3\alpha_1) =\frac{3}{2},(\varpi_1|2\alpha_2+ 3\alpha_1) =\frac{3}{2}
(ϖ2∣α1)=0,(ϖ2∣α2)=32,(ϖ2∣α2+α1)=32 (\varpi_2|\alpha_1) = 0,(\varpi_2|\alpha_2) =\frac{3}{2},(\varpi_2|\alpha_2+\alpha_1) =\frac{3}{2}
(ϖ2∣α2+2α1)=32,(ϖ2∣α2+3α1)=32,(ϖ2∣2α2+3α1)=3 (\varpi_2|\alpha_2+ 2\alpha_1) =\frac{3}{2},(\varpi_2|\alpha_2+ 3\alpha_1) =\frac{3}{2},(\varpi_2|2\alpha_2+ 3\alpha_1) = 3

Thus, if n1,n2n_1, n_2 are integers ≥0\geq 0, the dimension of the simple representation of highest weight n1ϖ1+n2ϖ2n_1\varpi_1+n_2\varpi_2 is

(1+n1/212‾)((1+3n2/232‾)((1+n1/2+3n2/212‾+32)((1+n1+3n2/21+32‾) (1 +\frac{n_1/2}{1\overline{2}})((1 +\frac{3n_2/2}{3\overline{2}})((1 +\frac{n_1/2 + 3n_2/2}{_{1\overline{2}} + \frac{3}{2}})((1 +\frac{n_1 + 3n_2/2}{1 +^{3\overline{2}}})
×(1+3n1/2+3n2/232‾+32)((1+3n1/322+3+3n2) \times (1 +\frac{3n_1/2 + 3n_2/2}{_{3\overline{2}} + \frac{3}{2}})((1 +3n_1\frac{/_3}{2}2 + 3+ 3n_2)
=(1+n1)(1+n2)(1+n1+3n24)((1+2n1+3n25)((1+n1+n22) = (1 +n_1)(1 +n_2)(1 +\frac{n_1 + 3n_2}{4})((1 +\frac{2n_1 + 3n_2}{5})((1 +\frac{n_1 + n_2}{2})
×(1+n1+2n23) \times (1 +\frac{n_1 + 2n_2}{3})
(1+n1)(1+n2)(2+n1+n2)(3+n1+2n2)(4+n1+3n2)(5+2n1+3n2) (1+n_1)(1+n_2)(2+n_1+n_2)(3+n_1+2n_2)(4+n_1+3n_2)(5+2n_1+3n_2)

In particular, the fundamental representation of highest weight ϖ1\varpi_1 (resp. ϖ2\varpi_2) is of dimension 7 (resp. 14).

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.
