Cartan action on the split type-B root generators #

This file records the coordinates of the Bourbaki simple coroots in the split diagonal Cartan and uses them to compute their action on both signs of every simple root. If dᵢ is the coordinate vector of the ith simple coroot, the formulas are

[hᵢ, eⱼ] = dᵢ(j) eⱼ                         (j the short node),
[hᵢ, eⱼ] = (dᵢ(j) - dᵢ(j+1)) eⱼ            (j a long node),

with the negatives of these scalars on the negative-root generators. The results below identify these scalars uniformly with entries of Mathlib's type-B Cartan matrix; the transpose appears because the coroot index comes first in the Lie bracket. The mixed and higher Serre relations are subsequent steps.

These relations supply matrix-model input both to the Chevalley--Demazure construction and to a Chevalley-style basis of the split type-B Lie algebra.
