The modules with such highest weights are irreducible if CharK = 0; but since CharK = 3, some of these components are reducible.
Structures of G(2) type and nonintegrable distributions in characteristic p

De facto, for simple Lie algebras over R and C, the number K is always ≤ 1, but if charK > 0, and for superalgebras, then K > 1 is possible.

As a k0 -module, k1 decomposes into the direct sum of two (over C; for charK = 3 and in super setting, even over C, the situation is more involved) irreducible submodules, W1 spanned by cubic monomials in p and q , and W2 spanned by tpi and tqi .
