View on Github →feat: add root system induction principle equivalent to connectedness of Dynkin diagram (#26965)
The headline result is RootPairing.Base.induction_on_cartanMatrix
. In order to prove this we add a second induction principle for root system bases RootPairing.Base.induction_reflect
. This is essentially equivalent to the fact that the Weyl group is generated by simple reflections.
This is almost the first time RootPairing.Base
has been used in a non-trivial way and as a result some further development of its API was necessary. In particular:
- We systematically change pattern
∑ j, f j • P.root j
to∑ j ∈ b.support, f j • P.root j
(removing various issues assocated withFintype ι
). - We introduce a new definition
RootPairing.Base.height
and use it to redefineRootPairing.Base.IsPos
