Weyl group

Conjugation of a Weyl element

Let ฮฆ โŠ‚๐”ผ be a root system, and ๐บ be the group of all invertible linear endomorphisms leaving ฮฆ invariant, i.e.

๐บ={๐œ‘โˆˆGLโก(๐”ผ):๐œ‘(ฮฆ)=ฮฆ}

Then the Weyl group W of ฮฆ is a normal subgroup of ๐บ, in particular for any ๐›ผ โˆˆฮฆ and ๐œ โˆˆ๐บ #m/thm/geo
