A 27-dimensional representation of the type-E6 Serre presentation #
This file constructs a 27-dimensional representation of the type-E₆ Serre presentation. The
coordinate basis is indexed by the Weyl orbit of the first fundamental weight enumerated by
TauCeti.DynkinType.e6MinusculeWeight.
For a simple root i, the raising matrix sends the basis vector of weight μ to the basis vector
of weight μ + αᵢ when ⟨μ, αᵢ∨⟩ = -1, and to zero otherwise. The lowering matrix is defined
dually. The Cartan generator acts diagonally by the simple-coroot coordinate of the weight. These
integral matrices satisfy the Serre relations for the transposed type-E₆ Cartan matrix.
Identifying this presentation with the split semisimple Lie algebra of type E₆, and hence
interpreting these matrices as a representation of that algebra, remains downstream.
This is the representation-theoretic input for the full-weight type-E₆ Chevalley--Demazure
carrier required by Layer 9 of the ReductiveGroups roadmap. The weights span the full character
lattice by TauCeti.DynkinType.span_range_e6MinusculeWeight_eq_top; constructing the associated
Kostant carrier and its group scheme remains downstream.

The weight table #
The twenty-seven minuscule weights of type E₆, as a minuscule weight table. The Cartan
matrix is transposed, which is the convention placing the coroot index first.
