Type-E₆ simple-root characters #
The positive and negative numbered Serre generators have the corresponding simple-root
characters for the Cartan action. Each positive character is primitive, as witnessed by an
explicit Bézout certificate for its row of the type-E₆ Cartan matrix.
These characters and the certificate depend only on the type-E₆ Serre presentation, so they
apply to both the minuscule and doubled minuscule carriers.
The root numbering follows N. Bourbaki, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Chapters 4--6, Plate V.
The character through which the Cartan torus acts on a positive or negative numbered
type-E₆ root generator.
Equations
- TauCeti.E6.rootGeneratorWeight (Sum.inl i) = fun (j : Fin 6) => CartanMatrix.E 6 i j
- TauCeti.E6.rootGeneratorWeight (Sum.inr i) = fun (j : Fin 6) => -CartanMatrix.E 6 i j
Instances For
A Bézout certificate for the rows of the type-E₆ Cartan matrix: the coefficient -1 at a
neighbour of i whose Cartan entry is -1, and 0 elsewhere.
Equations
- TauCeti.E6.cartanBezout i j = if j = TauCeti.E6.cartanNeighbor✝ i then -1 else 0
Instances For
Every positive simple-root character of type E₆ is primitive, with the explicit
certificate TauCeti.E6.cartanBezout.
The negative simple-root character at a node is the negative of the positive one.
The character of a raising generator is the corresponding simple root of the pinned
simply connected type-E₆ root datum.
The character of a lowering generator is the negative of the corresponding simple root.
The numbered Serre root generators are weight vectors for the Cartan generators.
