Weyl elements in the standard symplectic group #

For distinct coordinate indices i and j, this file constructs the standard representative

n_{i,j} = x_{e_i-e_j}(1) x_{e_j-e_i}(-1) x_{e_i-e_j}(1)

of the Weyl reflection exchanging i and j. It also constructs the long-root representative n_{2e_i}, which exchanges the two symplectic coordinates belonging to i. Conjugation by these representatives transports the root subgroups and acts on the paired diagonal torus by the corresponding type-C_m reflections. These identities work over an arbitrary commutative ring, so no division or characteristic restriction is needed.

The short-root representatives permute torus coordinates, while the long-root representatives invert individual coordinates. Together these give the permutation and sign-change generators of the signed permutation group, the Weyl group of the standard symplectic torus.
