Symmetries of Geck's construction #
Geck's construction attaches to a root pairing P with base b an explicit Lie subalgebra of the
matrices indexed by b.support ⊕ ι, generated as a Lie subalgebra by the numbered matrices
RootPairing.GeckConstruction.h i, RootPairing.GeckConstruction.e i and
RootPairing.GeckConstruction.f i. Every entry of those matrices is a Cartan integer, a root-string
coefficient, or the truth value of an additive relation between roots: no sign is chosen, unlike
the construction of a Lie algebra directly on H ⊕ K^Φ, whose structure constants need a choice of
extraspecial pairs.
This file is about the consequence of that. An equivalence g of root pairings whose index
bijection restricts to an equivalence τ of their bases identifies the corresponding index types,
and reindexing a matrix along that equivalence carries each of the three numbered families to the
other, moving the number along:
h i ↦ h (τ i), e i ↦ e (τ i), f i ↦ f (τ i).
So reindexing restricts to an equivalence of the two Geck Lie algebras. On the defining modules it
is a permutation of coordinates, TauCeti.geckModuleEquiv, intended as input to a later
Chevalley--Demazure descent; unlike an automorphism moving root vectors by signs, it needs no
further renormalisation first.
Nothing here uses RootPairing.Base.equivOfCartanMatrixEq or any other rigidity statement. The
equivalence g is data supplied by the caller, and the hypothesis hτ says only that its index
bijection restricts to τ. In the automorphism case, a caller holding only a permutation τ of the
nodes that preserves the Cartan matrix gets such a g from Mathlib's
RootPairing.Base.equivOfCartanMatrixEq, and hτ is
then TauCeti.equivOfCartanMatrixEq_indexEquiv_apply read in the other direction.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.geckIndexEquiv: the sum of an equivalence of base supports and the index equivalence of root pairings.TauCeti.geckModuleEquiv: the resulting coordinate permutation of the defining module.TauCeti.geckLieEquivOfEquiv: the resulting equivalence of Geck's Lie algebras.

Roadmap #
This advances Layer 9, "pinned Chevalley--Demazure group schemes over ℤ", of
TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md, whose "Pinnings" bullet asks for the graph automorphism
attached to a pinning as named data. The planned consumer is milestone L1, "ordinary and
graph-twisted Steinberg maps", of TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md, through the planned
TauCeti.GraphTwistedIndex.graphAut. This file supplies the coordinate permutation and its matrix
intertwining relation; a caller must still transport that relation to Geck's representation and
prove preservation of its integral lattice before applying
TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantElementaryNumberedSymmetryAut.

The equivalence of the index types of Geck's matrices formed from an equivalence τ of base
supports and the index equivalence of a root-pairing equivalence g.
The b.support summand indexes the Cartan coordinates and the ι summand indexes the root
coordinates, so the permutation is τ on the first and g.indexEquiv on the second. The numbered
matrix lemmas separately assume that these agree on the base.

The coordinate permutation of the defining module #
The coordinate equivalence of the defining modules induced by geckIndexEquiv. The numbered
matrix lemmas separately assume that the two component equivalences agree on the base.
Equations
Instances For
The coordinate permutation carries the coordinate vector at x to the one at
geckIndexEquiv g τ x. Taking r = 1 this says that it carries Geck's u i and v i to u (τ i)
and v (g.indexEquiv i).
The coordinate permutation intertwines the action of a matrix with the action of its conjugate.
Conjugating the numbered matrices #
Conjugation by the index permutation carries the Cartan generator h i to the one
numbered by τ i.
Conjugation by the index permutation carries the raising matrix numbered by i to the one
numbered by τ i.
Conjugation by the index permutation carries the lowering matrix numbered by i to the one
numbered by τ i.
The equivalence of Geck's Lie algebras #
Geck's Lie algebra is invariant under base-preserving equivalence of root pairings. Reindexing carries the Lie subalgebra spanned by the source numbered matrices onto the target one, because it carries each of the three numbered families onto its target counterpart.
The equivalence of Geck's Lie algebras induced by a base-preserving equivalence of root pairings: the restriction of matrix reindexing.
