Computer calculations for "Some singular curves in Mukai's model of \(\overline{M}_7\)", Section 6

Code 6.1: \( \operatorname{Spin}(10)\) invariant polynomials in \( \operatorname{Sym}^{\bullet} \Lambda^7 S^{+}\)

We show that the lowest degree \( \operatorname{Spin}(10)\) invariant polynomials on \( \mathbb{P}(S^{+})\) are in degree 4.

By [18 Prop. 20.15 and section 19.2], the representation \(S^{+}\) is irreducible with highest weight \(\omega_4\). The character calculation below shows that there are no \( \operatorname{Spin}(10) \) invariants in \( \operatorname{Sym}^{d} \Lambda^7 S^{+} \) for \(d = 1,2,3\), but there are \( \operatorname{Spin}(10)\) invariants when \(d=4\).
