Is $sl(n,C)$ itself an irreducible representation of $SL(n,C)$

171 Views Asked by At

I have known that $sl(n,C)$ is a simple Lie algebra and it is a linear representation of $SL(n,C)$ by adjoint.

But is it an irreducible representation of $SL(n,C)$ and is there some relation between this and its property of being simple?
