The simply connected root datum of type Bₙ #
This file assembles the coordinate model of
TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.RootSystem.SimplyConnectedRootDatum.B.Model into the pinned integral root
datum of type Bₙ, uniformly in the rank n, on the character and cocharacter lattices
Fin n → ℤ. The character lattice is written in the fundamental-weight basis and the cocharacter
lattice in the simple-coroot basis, so the i-th simple root is the i-th row of the
Bourbaki-numbered Cartan matrix CartanMatrix.B n and the i-th simple coroot is the i-th
standard basis vector.
The enumeration #
The roots are indexed by Fin (2 * n ^ 2), which is TauCeti.DynkinType.numRoots (.B n). The
model names a root by a signed basis vector u together with a cyclic offset d, so the raw index
type is Fin (2 * n) × Fin n; the enumeration rotates the first coordinate and reverses the second
so that the Bourbaki simple roots come first. All but the last simple root are long and the last
one is short, so they cannot occupy a single block of a product enumeration: the rotation puts
α₀, …, α_{n-2} at indices 0, …, n - 2 and sends the short α_{n-1} elsewhere, and a single
transposition then brings that one to index n - 1.
Only the coroots are asked to span their lattice, and only that half is recorded, in
TauCeti.DynkinType.corootSpan_typeBSimplyConnectedRootDatum_eq_top. The roots span the root
lattice, which for 0 < n sits inside the weight lattice with index 2 (Bourbaki, Plate II); at
n = 0 both lattices are trivial and the two coincide. So the datum is a RootDatum carrying no
RootPairing.IsRootSystem instance. That asymmetry is what "simply connected" means here.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.DynkinType.typeBSimplyConnectedRootDatum: the pinned root datum of typeBₙ.TauCeti.DynkinType.typeBSimpleIndex: the firstnroot indices, the Bourbaki-numbered simple roots.TauCeti.DynkinType.typeBSimplyConnectedBase: the base they form.
Nothing here is @[expose]d: the datum, its enumeration and its base are used through the lemmas
below, not by unfolding.
Main results #
TauCeti.DynkinType.root_typeBSimpleIndexandTauCeti.DynkinType.coroot_typeBSimpleIndex: thei-th simple root is thei-th row ofCartanMatrix.B nand thei-th simple coroot isPi.single i 1, which is what pins the two lattices as the weight and coroot lattices.TauCeti.DynkinType.hasCartanType_typeBSimplyConnectedRootDatum: the pinned base has Cartan typeB n.TauCeti.DynkinType.corootSpan_typeBSimplyConnectedRootDatum_eq_top: the coroots span the cocharacter lattice, the simply connected condition.

The root datum #
The pinned simply connected root datum of type Bₙ.
Both lattices are Fin n → ℤ: the character lattice in the fundamental-weight basis and the
cocharacter lattice in the simple-coroot basis. The 2 * n ^ 2 roots are the classical
± e_a ± e_b and ± e_a, enumerated with the simple roots first; see
TauCeti.DynkinType.root_typeBSimpleIndex.

Instances For
The pinned pairing is the classical dot product, in both the fundamental-weight and the simple-coroot coordinates.
Every Cartan integer between roots of the pinned type B datum has absolute value at most
two.
The roots of the pinned type Bₙ datum are exactly the roots constructed from admissible
unordered pairs of signed basis vectors.
The coroots of the pinned type Bₙ datum are exactly the coroots constructed from admissible
unordered pairs of signed basis vectors.
The simple roots and coroots #
The simple roots are the rows of the Cartan matrix. In the fundamental-weight basis the
i-th simple root of the pinned type Bₙ datum is the i-th row of CartanMatrix.B n, which is
what pins the character lattice as the weight lattice.
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.
The pinned base #
The Bourbaki-numbered base of the pinned simply connected root datum of type Bₙ. Its support
is the set of the first n root indices, carrying the simple roots in Bourbaki order.
Equations

Instances For
The pairing of two Bourbaki-indexed simple roots and coroots is the corresponding entry of
the type-B Cartan matrix.
The pinned datum of type Bₙ has Cartan type B n. Its Bourbaki-numbered base realizes
the standard Cartan matrix CartanMatrix.B n, with the node numbering of
TauCeti.DynkinType.
The coroots of the pinned type Bₙ 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 for 0 < n
sits inside the weight lattice with index 2 (Bourbaki, Plate II), the degenerate rank n = 0
being the only case where the two lattices agree.
