The minuscule weight orbit of type E7 #
This file enumerates the Weyl orbit of the seventh fundamental weight of the pinned simply
connected root datum TauCeti.DynkinType.e7SimplyConnectedRootDatum. The fifty-six weights are
expressed in the fundamental-weight basis Fin 7 → ℤ. The first weight is ϖ₇, and the table
is closed under the seven Bourbaki-numbered simple reflections through explicit permutations of
Fin 56.
The table is the weight diagram of the 56-dimensional minuscule representation. Every simple-
coroot coordinate is -1, 0, or 1; the table is exactly the Weyl orbit of ϖ₇; and its
weights span the complete character lattice. The spanning statement is the input that lets the
weight torus in the eventual integral minuscule carrier be a closed immersion, rather than seeing
only the index-two root lattice of the adjoint representation.

The weight table #
The fifty-six weights in the Weyl orbit of the type-E₇ minuscule weight ϖ₇.
Coordinates are pairings with the seven Bourbaki-numbered simple coroots. The ordering begins at
ϖ₇ = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1) and then lists weights reached successively by simple
reflections; no mathematical structure depends on the ordering.

Instances For
The fifty-six minuscule weights are pairwise distinct.
The first weight in the table is the seventh fundamental weight ϖ₇.
Every pairing of an E₇ minuscule weight with a simple coroot is -1, 0, or 1.
Simple reflections #
The permutation of the fifty-six minuscule weights induced by the i-th simple
reflection.
Equations
Instances For
Applying the same simple reflection twice fixes every index in the weight table.
Every simple coroot has pairing -1 with some minuscule weight.
Every simple coroot has pairing 1 with some minuscule weight.
The coordinate equation for a simple reflection on the minuscule weights. Reflection in
the i-th simple root subtracts the pairing with the i-th simple coroot times that root.
A simple reflection fixes a minuscule weight exactly when its simple-coroot coordinate is zero.
The explicit permutation agrees with reflection in the pinned simply connected root datum.
The Weyl orbit #
Every index in the minuscule weight table is reached from the highest-weight index by a finite sequence of simple reflections.
The explicit table is exactly the Weyl orbit of the seventh fundamental weight ϖ₇.
The Weyl orbit of ϖ₇ has fifty-six elements.
Generation of the character lattice #
The fifty-six minuscule weights span the full type-E₇ character lattice. In
particular, a diagonal torus acting with these weights is represented faithfully.
