Chains of roots and weights

Given roots α and β of a Lie algebra, together with elements x in the α-root space and y in the β-root space, it follows from the Leibniz identity that ⁅x, y⁆ is either zero or belongs to the α + β-root space. Iterating this operation leads to the study of families of roots of the form k • α + β. Such a family is known as the α-chain through β (or sometimes, the α-string through β) and the study of the sum of the corresponding root spaces is an important technique.

More generally if α is a root and χ is a weight of a representation, it is useful to study the α-chain through χ.

We provide basic definitions and results to support α-chain techniques in this file.

Main definitions / results

• LieModule.exists₂_genWeightSpace_smul_add_eq_bot: given weights χ₁, χ₂ if χ₁ ≠ 0, we can find p < 0 and q > 0 such that the weight spaces p • χ₁ + χ₂ and q • χ₁ + χ₂ are both trivial.
• LieModule.genWeightSpaceChain: given weights χ₁, χ₂ together with integers p and q, this is the sum of the weight spaces k • χ₁ + χ₂ for p < k < q.
• LieModule.trace_toEnd_genWeightSpaceChain_eq_zero: given a root α relative to a Cartan subalgebra H, there is a natural ideal corootSpace α in H. This lemma states that this ideal acts by trace-zero endomorphisms on the sum of root spaces of any α-chain, provided the weight spaces at the endpoints are both trivial.
• LieModule.exists_forall_mem_corootSpace_smul_add_eq_zero: given a (potential) root α relative to a Cartan subalgebra H, if we restrict to the ideal corootSpace α of H, we may find an integral linear combination between α and any weight χ of a representation.

Given two (potential) weights χ₁ and χ₂ together with integers p and q, it is often useful to study the sum of weight spaces associated to the family of weights k • χ₁ + χ₂ for p < k < q.

Given a (potential) root α relative to a Cartan subalgebra H, if we restrict to the ideal I = corootSpace α of H (informally, I = ⁅H(α), H(-α)⁆), we may find an integral linear combination between α and any weight χ of a representation.

This is Proposition 4.4 from [Car05] and is a key step in the proof that the roots of a semisimple Lie algebra form a root system. It shows that the restriction of α to I vanishes iff the restriction of every root to I vanishes (which cannot happen in a semisimple Lie algebra).
