Weyl representatives in the Kostant toral closure #
The Weyl element attached to an sl₂ root pair is the product
nᵢ = xᵢ(1) x₋ᵢ(-1) xᵢ(1).
Each factor is a point of the Kostant toral closure, so this product gives a canonical point of
the assembled Chevalley carrier over every commutative ring. This file packages that point in the
carrier, identifies its matrix with the integral Weyl automorphism of the admissible lattice, and
proves that it normalizes the represented split torus. Its conjugation action is the reflection
attached to the root and coroot of the sl₂ pair.
These representatives supply the point-level Weyl group data used to transport simple-root subgroups to arbitrary roots and to compare the normalizer of the represented torus with the Weyl group of the root datum.

The Weyl representative in the carrier #
The Weyl representative xᵢ(1) xⱼ(-1) xᵢ(1) as a point of the Kostant toral closure.
The intended indices i and j are opposite roots in an sl₂ pair. The definition itself only
uses their represented root subgroups; the sl₂ relations enter when describing conjugation.

Instances For
The carrier's Weyl representative is natural in the value ring. Applying a ring homomorphism entrywise sends the representative over the source ring to the representative over the target ring.
In the chosen basis, the carrier's Weyl representative is the matrix of the integral Weyl automorphism of the admissible lattice.
Normalization of the represented torus #
Conjugation by the carrier's Weyl representative sends the i root subgroup to the j root
subgroup, negating the parameter: nᵢ xᵢ(u) nᵢ⁻¹ = xⱼ(-u).
Conjugating a represented weight-torus point by the carrier's Weyl representative reflects
the torus point by the root α and its coroot coordinate c.
The Weyl representative is in the normalizer of the represented weight torus inside the Kostant toral closure.
