The type-B spin representation of an odd polarization #
TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.typeBQuadraticEquiv identifies the split type-B matrix Lie
algebra LieAlgebra.Orthogonal.typeB ι K with the quadratic elements of the Clifford algebra of
an odd polarization, and those act on the spinor module ExteriorAlgebra K P.W through
TauCeti.SpinPolarizationData.spinAction. Composing the two gives the spin representation of
the type-B matrix algebra, which this file assembles and extends to the universal enveloping
algebra.
The numbered root and coroot generators are read through their Clifford realizations in
TauCeti/RepresentationTheory/Spin/Polarization/TypeB/RootGenerators.lean; this file also records
the field-generic terminal-root actions on the exterior basis. The integrality of that action is
the subject of
TauCeti/RepresentationTheory/Spin/Polarization/TypeB/KostantLattice.lean. Nothing here is
specific to ℚ: any field in which 2 is invertible carries the same representation.
The enveloping-algebra extension is what the Chevalley--Demazure construction consumes, since
divided powers of root vectors and binomial coefficients in coroots live in the enveloping
algebra and not in the Lie algebra. This is a prerequisite of the full-weight simply connected
type-B carrier in Layer 9, "The Chevalley--Demazure construction", of
TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md, whose consumer is milestone L0 of
TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md.

A Lie generator acts in the enveloping-algebra representation through its quadratic Clifford element.
A positive short-root operator creates its exterior coordinate after the grade involution, scaled by the line coordinate of the distinguished remainder vector.
A negative short-root operator contracts its exterior coordinate and applies the grade involution, scaled by the line coordinate of the distinguished remainder vector.
The terminal positive short-root operator creates the final exterior coordinate from the vacuum when the distinguished remainder vector has coordinate one.
The terminal negative short-root operator annihilates the final exterior coordinate to the vacuum when the distinguished remainder vector has coordinate one.
