The simply connected root datum of type E₇ #
This file builds the pinned integral root datum of type E₇ on the character and cocharacter
lattices Fin 7 → ℤ. The character lattice is written in the fundamental-weight basis and the
cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis. Thus the i-th simple root is the i-th row of
the Bourbaki-numbered Cartan matrix CartanMatrix.E 7, while the i-th simple coroot is the
i-th standard basis vector.
Reflection in a norm-two vector preserves the E₇ Gram form. The completeness theorem
TauCeti.DynkinType.exists_e7Coroot_eq therefore supplies the reflected coroot from the pinned
enumeration, and Mathlib's RootPairing.mk' constructs the required permutations of the 126 root
indices. In particular, no reflection table is needed.
The coroots span their lattice, which is the simply connected condition consumed by the pinned
Chevalley--Demazure construction. The roots instead span a sublattice of index two in the weight
lattice, as recorded by the determinant of CartanMatrix.E 7.

The pinned datum #
The pinned simply connected root datum of type E₇.
Both lattices are Fin 7 → ℤ: the character lattice in the fundamental-weight basis and the
cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis. Root indices 0 through 6 are the Bourbaki
simple roots; see TauCeti.DynkinType.root_e7SimpleIndex.
Equations

Instances For
The root embedding of the pinned E₇ datum is the explicit table e7Root.
The coroot embedding of the pinned E₇ datum is the explicit table e7Coroot.
The perfect pairing is the dot product in the dual coordinate bases.
Pairing a pinned E₇ root with a coroot computes as their coordinate dot product.
The pinned base #
The coroots of the pinned type E₇ datum span the cocharacter lattice. This is the simply
connected lattice condition required by the pinned Chevalley--Demazure construction.
The Bourbaki-numbered base of the pinned simply connected root datum of type E₇. Its support
is the first seven root indices, carrying the simple roots in Bourbaki order.

Instances For
Membership in the pinned base support is exactly membership among the first seven root indices.
The Cartan integers at the first seven root indices are Mathlib's Bourbaki-numbered E₇
matrix.
The pinned datum of type E₇ has Cartan type E7, in Bourbaki node order.
