Classical coordinates on the pinned type Cₙ lattices #
The pinned type Cₙ datum TauCeti.DynkinType.typeCSimplyConnectedRootDatum writes its character
lattice in the fundamental-weight basis and its cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis.
Both lattices are also the classical lattice ℤ ^ n with standard basis e₀, …, e_{n-1}, because
the simple coroots eᵢ - eᵢ₊₁ and e_{n-1} of Cₙ form a basis of it. This file makes that
identification explicit, in the form a concrete group with diagonal torus 𝔾ₘⁿ consumes.
The change of coordinates on characters sends λ to its pairings (⟨λ, e_a⟩)_a with the
classical basis, and the one on cocharacters sends μ to (⟨e_a, μ⟩)_a. They send the families
TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeC.weight and TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeC.coweight to the standard basis
vectors and carry the pinned dot-product pairing to the classical one. Both are integral with
integral inverse, since the matrices of the two families are inverse transposes of one another by
TauCeti.DynkinType.TypeC.weight_dotProduct_coweight.

The a-th classical coordinate of a character is its pairing with e_a.
The a-th classical coordinate of a cocharacter is the pairing of e_a with it.
The character e_a has the a-th standard basis vector as classical coordinates.
The cocharacter e_a has the a-th standard basis vector as classical coordinates.
The a-th standard basis vector of classical coordinates is the character e_a.
The a-th standard basis vector of classical coordinates is the cocharacter e_a.
The classical coordinates preserve the pairing. The pinned dot product of a character and a cocharacter is the dot product of their classical coordinates.
