The root datum of the symplectic group relative to its diagonal torus #
The paired diagonal torus diag(t₀, …, tₘ₋₁, t₀⁻¹, …, tₘ₋₁⁻¹) of Sp₂ₘ has character lattice
X*(T) = ULift (Fin m) →₀ ℤ and cocharacter lattice X_*(T) = ULift (Fin m) → ℤ. This file
equips these lattices with the root datum of type Cₘ, indexed by the standard symplectic root
subgroups themselves. Writing eᵢ for the coordinate vectors, its roots are
2eᵢ, -2eᵢ, eᵢ - eⱼ, eᵢ + eⱼ, -eᵢ - eⱼ,
with coroots eᵢ, -eᵢ on the long roots and the same vectors as the roots on the short ones,
and its pairing is the split-torus dot pairing.
The datum is obtained by transporting the pinned simply connected datum
TauCeti.DynkinType.typeCSimplyConnectedRootDatum with RootPairing.map along the classical
coordinates TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeC.classicalWeightEquiv and
TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeC.classicalCoweightEquiv. What ties it to the group is
TauCeti.Symplectic.charOfPoint_ofAdd_diagonalRootDatum_root: the root indexed by a root subgroup
is exactly the character through which the diagonal torus rescales that subgroup.
Main definitions #

The symplectic root subgroups are indexed by the type C root indices. A root subgroup
with root (-1) ^ s * (e_a ± e_b) is sent to (a, b, s), in the normalization of
TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeCIndex.

The roots are the characters of the diagonal torus on the root subgroups. Evaluated at a
point of the diagonal torus, the root of diagonalRootDatum indexed by a root subgroup is the
character by which conjugation by that point rescales the subgroup.
