The translation subgroup $T \subseteq W$ is normal in the affine Weyl group $W$.
The stabilizer subgroup $W_x = \{g \in W : g \cdot x = x\}$ of a point $x \in E$.
Instances For
The stabilizer $W_x$ is a subgroup of $W$.
The linear part map sends the stabilizer $W_x$ surjectively onto the finite linear part group $\overline W$: for any $\overline w \in \overline W$ there is $g \in W_x$ with linear part $\overline w$. This is the key surjectivity used in the semidirect-product decomposition.
Semidirect product decomposition $W = T \rtimes W_x$: every $w \in W$ factors uniquely as $w = t \cdot s$ with $t \in T$ a translation and $s \in W_x$ a stabilizer element of a special point $x$.
Unconditional form of the semidirect product decomposition $W = T \rtimes W_x$:
combines semidirect_product_decomposition with the surjectivity stabilizer_surjects_unconditional.
