The exceptional root lattices E₆, E₇, E₈ and their discriminant forms #

The root lattice of an exceptional simply laced type is the integral lattice whose Gram matrix in the simple-root basis is the corresponding Cartan matrix. This file constructs the three of them inside Fin n → ℚ, proves them even and nondegenerate, and computes their discriminant forms:

det E₆ = 3,   A_{E₆} ≃+ ℤ/3,   q(ϖ₁) = 2/3,
det E₇ = 2,   A_{E₇} ≃+ ℤ/2,   q(ϖ₇) = 3/4,
det E₈ = 1,   A_{E₈} = 0,      E₈ is unimodular.

Their levels are respectively 3, 4, and 1, computed from these quadratic values using IntegralLattice.IsEven.level_eq_addOrderOf and the even-unimodular criterion.

The generators are the classes of the minuscule fundamental weights, ϖ₁ for E₆ and ϖ₇ for E₇, written in the simple-root coordinates that the inverse Cartan matrix dictates:

3 ϖ₁ = 4α₁ + 3α₂ + 5α₃ + 6α₄ + 4α₅ + 2α₆,
2 ϖ₇ = 2α₁ + 3α₂ + 4α₃ + 6α₄ + 5α₅ + 4α₆ + 3α₇.

Those coordinates are verified against the lattice rather than assumed: form_typeE₆MinusculeWeight_typeE₆SimpleRoot proves ⟨ϖ₁, αᵢ⟩ = δ_{i,1} directly from the row combinations of CartanMatrix.E 6, and likewise in type E₇. The self-pairings ⟨ϖ₁, ϖ₁⟩ = 4/3 and ⟨ϖ₇, ϖ₇⟩ = 3/2 follow, and give the displayed half-norm values. The class of ϖ₁ has additive order exactly 3 because the first simple-root coordinate of ϖ₁ is 4/3, and the discriminant group has that same order, so ϖ₁ generates; the same argument with the second coordinate 3/2 of ϖ₇ and the order 2 settles type E₇.

The half-norm convention is the one fixed by the integral-lattices roadmap: q_L(x) = ⟨x,x⟩ / 2 in ℚ/ℤ. Nikulin's full-norm values for these rows are 4/3 and 3/2.

Both cyclic discriminant forms are presented through TauCeti.FiniteQuadraticModule.cyclic, which builds the form on ℤ/m whose generator carries a prescribed value; only the two torsion conditions on that value are checked here.

The Cartan matrices, their symmetry and their determinants are Mathlib's, in Bourbaki's numbering: the branch node of the diagram is α₄, and α₂ is the short arm.
