The admissible lattice of a minuscule weight table #

The rational representation of a minuscule weight table acts on the rational coordinate space of its index type, and the Kostant form of its Serre generators carries the integral lattice of that space into itself.

Two properties of the table make that so. Each root generator is square-zero: the raising operator at a node carries a weight of coordinate -1 to its reflection, whose coordinate is 1, and kills every weight of coordinate 1. And each root generator has integer entries, so it carries integral coordinate vectors to integral coordinate vectors. The Cartan generators are diagonal with the table's weights on the diagonal, so every standard coordinate vector is a weight vector with an integral weight. Divided powers of a square-zero operator and binomial coefficients of an operator with integral eigenvalues are what the Kostant form is generated by.

    The enveloping-algebra representation acts on an included Lie element by matrix-vector multiplication.

    Every represented positive or negative Serre root generator is square-zero.

    Every represented positive or negative Serre root generator acts nilpotently.

    The nilpotency class of every represented positive or negative root generator is at most two.

    A positive root generator has the table's integral raising matrix in the coordinate lattice basis.

    A negative root generator has the table's integral lowering matrix in the coordinate lattice basis.

    The represented Cartan, positive, and negative Serre generators at a node form an sl₂ triple whenever the weight table contains a weight of nonzero coordinate at that node.

    Stability of the coordinate lattice #

    Every represented Serre root generator preserves the coordinate lattice.

    Each standard coordinate vector is a Cartan weight vector with its weight in the table.

    Every coordinate-lattice basis vector is a Cartan weight vector with its weight in the table.

    The coordinate lattice is admissible for the Serre Kostant form of a minuscule weight table.

    The coordinate lattice is stable under the generic Kostant form built from the Serre generators. This is the form consumed by the carrier and base-change APIs.

    Symmetries on the rational module #

    The coordinate permutation of a table symmetry intertwines the represented positive and negative simple-root generators along the induced root permutation.
