The simply connected root datum of type E₆ #

This file constructs the pinned integral root datum of type E₆ on the character and cocharacter lattices Fin 6 → ℤ. The character lattice is written in the fundamental-weight basis and the cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis, so that the i-th simple root is the i-th row of the Bourbaki-numbered Cartan matrix CartanMatrix.E 6 and the i-th simple coroot is the i-th standard basis vector.

The coordinates #

A coroot is stored by its coordinates in the simple coroots, and the corresponding root by its pairings against the simple coroots. Because E₆ is simply laced, a root and its coroot have the same simple-root coordinates, so a single stored vector determines both: if a coroot has coordinates c, then the root has coordinates ⟨β, αⱼ^∨⟩ = ∑ i, cᵢ ⟨αᵢ, αⱼ^∨⟩, that is, the Cartan-matrix image of c. That relation is TauCeti.DynkinType.e6Root_eq_mulVec, and it is what makes every later step structural rather than a second table: the root reflections are the image of the coroot reflections under a linear map, and the pairing is symmetric because CartanMatrix.E 6 is.

The seventy-two roots — the count fixed by TauCeti.DynkinType.numRoots — are ordered with the six simple roots first, in Bourbaki order, then the remaining thirty positive roots by height and then lexicographically in their simple-root coordinates, and finally the thirty-six negative roots in the matching order. The last positive root is therefore the highest root, whose simple-root coordinates are the Bourbaki marks (1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1).

Only the coroots are asked to span their lattice, and only that half is recorded, in TauCeti.DynkinType.corootSpan_e6SimplyConnectedRootDatum_eq_top. The roots span the root lattice, which sits inside the weight lattice with index 3 — the determinant of CartanMatrix.E 6 — so the datum carries no RootPairing.IsRootSystem instance. That asymmetry is what "simply connected" means here.

The coordinate data #

The coroots of type E₆ in the simple-coroot basis. The first six are the standard basis vectors, the first thirty-six are the positive coroots, and the last thirty-six are their negatives.

            The Cartan matrix as the bridge between the two embeddings #

            The root coordinates are the Cartan-matrix image of the coroot coordinates. Writing a coroot as β^∨ = ∑ i, cᵢ αᵢ^∨ in the simple coroots, the pairings of β against the simple coroots are ⟨β, αⱼ^∨⟩ = ∑ i, cᵢ ⟨αᵢ, αⱼ^∨⟩, which is the j-th entry of the Cartan-matrix image of c because CartanMatrix.E 6 is symmetric.

            This is deliberately not a simp lemma: unfolding a root into the Cartan-matrix image of its coroot is a change of representation, not a normal form, and it would take the left-hand sides of the lemmas below out of normal form.

            @[simp]

            The simple coroots are the standard basis. This is what pins the cocharacter lattice as the coroot lattice, so that the datum is the simply connected one.

            @[simp]

            The simple roots are the rows of the Cartan matrix. In the fundamental-weight basis the i-th simple root of the pinned type E₆ datum is the i-th row of CartanMatrix.E 6, which is what pins the character lattice as the weight lattice.

            The pairing of the pinned tables is symmetric. This is the simply-laced feature of E₆: the pairing is the symmetric bilinear form attached to CartanMatrix.E 6, read on the shared simple-root coordinates of a root and its coroot.

            The second half of the table lists the negatives of the coroots in the first half.

            The pinned simply connected root datum of type E₆.

            Both lattices are Fin 6 → ℤ: the character lattice in the fundamental-weight basis and the cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis. Root indices 0 through 5 are the Bourbaki simple roots; see TauCeti.DynkinType.root_e6SimpleIndex.

              The coroot embedding of the pinned E₆ datum is the explicit table e6Coroot.

              The perfect pairing of the pinned E₆ datum is the dot product of coordinate vectors, the fundamental-weight and simple-coroot bases being dual to one another.

              @[simp]

              Pairing a pinned E₆ root with a coroot computes as their coordinate dot product.

              The coroots of the pinned type E₆ datum span the cocharacter lattice. This is the simply connected lattice condition required by the pinned Chevalley--Demazure construction. Its counterpart for the roots is deliberately absent: they span the root lattice, which sits inside the weight lattice with index 3 (Bourbaki, Plate V).

              The pinned base #

              The Bourbaki-numbered base of the pinned simply connected root datum of type E₆. Its support is the set of the first six root indices, carrying the simple roots in Bourbaki order.

                Membership in the pinned base support is exactly membership among the first six root indices.

                The Cartan integers at the first six root indices are Mathlib's Bourbaki-numbered E₆ matrix. This pins the node order independently of the existential relabelling in TauCeti.HasCartanType.

                The pinned datum of type E₆ has Cartan type E6. Its Bourbaki-numbered base realizes the standard Cartan matrix CartanMatrix.E 6, with the node numbering of TauCeti.DynkinType.
