Numbered diagram permutations for the finite groups of Lie type #
This file pins the permutations of Bourbaki-numbered simple roots used by the graph automorphisms
and exceptional isogenies in the construction of finite groups of Lie type. Bourbaki node i is
represented by Fin index i - 1, as in TauCeti.DynkinType.cartanMatrix.
The ordinary graph automorphisms preserve the relevant Cartan matrix. The Suzuki--Ree permutations instead exchange long and short nodes; the corresponding special isogenies attach different field exponents to the two root lengths.
The conventions follow Bourbaki, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Chapters 4--6, plates I--IX, and
the CFSGStatement roadmap's conventions for Steinberg endomorphisms.
Main definitions #

The length permutations transpose the Cartan matrix #
A length-exchanging permutation is not a symmetry of its diagram: it carries the Cartan matrix to
the transposed matrix, which is the Cartan matrix of the dual diagram. That is the reason the
families ²B₂, ²G₂ and ²F₄ are built from an odd power of a half-Frobenius rather than from a
graph automorphism composed with a field Frobenius, and it is what makes the exceptional isogeny
attach the two different exponents 1 and p to the two root lengths.
The rank-two length permutation carries the B₂ Cartan matrix to its transpose.
The rank-two length permutation carries the G₂ Cartan matrix to its transpose.
Diagram reversal carries the F₄ Cartan matrix to its transpose.
The rank-two length permutation is not an automorphism of the B₂ Cartan matrix: the entry it
moves to the corner (0, 1) is -1 rather than -2.
The rank-two length permutation is not an automorphism of the G₂ Cartan matrix.
Diagram reversal is not an automorphism of the F₄ Cartan matrix: it exchanges the two entries
-1 and -2 across the double bond.
