Abstract
For any simple complex Lie group we classify irreducible finite-dimensional representations for which the longest element of the Weyl group acts nontrivially on the zero weight space. Among irreducible representations that have zero among their weights, acts by Id if and only if the highest weight of is a multiple of a fundamental weight, with a coefficient less than a bound that depends on the group and on the fundamental weight.
