For a simple Lie algebra L over the complex numbers ℂ all irreducible representations admitting a highest weight have been constructed and characterized for example in [3, 6]. In [1] Bouwer considered the family of all irreducible representations of L admitting at least one one-dimensional weight space (this includes, of course, all those having a highest weight space) and showed, by construction, that this is a strictly larger class of representations.
