Weyl words in the Geck carrier #
For a valid Dynkin type, the numbered raising and lowering generators in the Geck carrier form an
sl₂ pair at every Bourbaki node. The usual product
nᵢ = xᵢ(1) x₋ᵢ(-1) xᵢ(1)
therefore gives a point of the carrier which normalizes its represented weight torus and acts on that torus by the corresponding simple reflection. This file specializes the general Kostant toral-closure construction to the pinned Geck data and multiplies the resulting representatives along a word in the simple reflections.
The construction is deliberately indexed by words, not by Weyl-group elements: proving that two words representing the same Weyl element induce the same torus action is a root-datum calculation, while equality of their carrier representatives is false without accounting for the torus kernel. The word-level representative is the input needed to transport the numbered simple root subgroups to nonsimple roots and to construct the normalizer-to-Weyl-group comparison.

A simple Weyl representative #
The defining representation carries the numbered sl₂ triple at node i to an sl₂ triple
of endomorphisms of the Geck module.
The pinned simple Weyl representative in the Geck carrier. At node i this is
xᵢ(1) x₋ᵢ(-1) xᵢ(1).

Instances For
In the Geck coordinate basis, the simple Weyl representative is the integral Weyl
automorphism supplied by the corresponding numbered sl₂ pair.
The simple Weyl representative is natural in the value ring.
Conjugation by the simple Weyl representative exchanges the raising root subgroup at node
i with its lowering root subgroup and negates the parameter.

Products along words #
The representative in the Geck carrier spelled by a word in the simple reflections.

Concatenation of Weyl words corresponds to multiplication of their representatives.
The Weyl-word representative is natural in the value ring.
The action on split-torus points spelled by a word in simple reflections. The recursion
has the same multiplication order as geckWeylWordPoint: the head reflection acts last on the
parameter obtained from the tail when the corresponding product acts by conjugation.
