The Coxeter wall $H_s = \{\varphi : \varphi_s = 0\}$ associated to a simple reflection $s$.
Instances For
The positive half-space $H_s^+ = \{\varphi : \varphi_s > 0\}$ cut out by the wall $H_s$.
Instances For
The negative half-space $H_s^- = \{\varphi : \varphi_s < 0\}$ cut out by the wall $H_s$.
Instances For
The open fundamental chamber $C = \bigcap_s H_s^+ = \{\varphi : \forall s, \varphi_s > 0\}$.
Instances For
The standard face of type $I \subseteq B$: $F_I = \{\varphi : \varphi_s = 0 \text{ for } s \in I, \ \varphi_s > 0 \text{ for } s \notin I\}$.
Instances For
The contragredient action of a simple reflection $s$ on coordinates: $\sigma^*_s(x)_t = x_t - 2 x_s \cdot B(\alpha_s, \alpha_t)$.
Instances For
The closed fundamental chamber $\overline{C} = \{\varphi : \forall s, \varphi_s \ge 0\}$.
Instances For
The Tits cone $\mathcal U = W \cdot \overline{C}$: $W$-orbit of the closed fundamental chamber under the contragredient action.
Instances For
The dual reflection flips the $s$-coordinate: $\sigma^*_s(x)_s = -x_s$.
$\overline{C} \subseteq \mathcal U$: the closed fundamental chamber is in the Tits cone (realized as the orbit of $\overline{C}$ under the empty word).
The dual action is an involution: $\sigma^*_s \circ \sigma^*_s = \mathrm{id}$.
The Coxeter bilinear form vanishes at the origin: $B(0,0) = 0$.
A symmetric matrix $f$ is indecomposable iff no proper subset $\emptyset \ne I \subsetneq B$ is "block-diagonal": every such $I$ has a nonzero off-block entry $f_{ij} \ne 0$ with $i \in I$, $j \notin I$.
Instances For
Equivalent formulations of "affine Coxeter form": indecomposable + PSD + nondefinite is the same as indecomposable + PSD + degenerate (existence of a nontrivial null vector).
The Perron–Frobenius property for an indecomposable PSD off-diagonal-nonpositive form: the kernel is 1-dimensional and spanned by a strictly positive vector $v > 0$.
- kernel_span : CoxeterGroup.FormIndecomposable f → (∀ (v : B → ℝ), ∑ s : B, ∑ t : B, v s * f s t * v t ≥ 0) → (∃ (v : B → ℝ), v ≠ 0 ∧ ∑ s : B, ∑ t : B, v s * f s t * v t = 0) → (∀ (s t : B), s ≠ t → f s t ≤ 0) → ∃ (v : B → ℝ), (∀ (s : B), v s > 0) ∧ ∀ (w : B → ℝ), ∑ s : B, ∑ t : B, w s * f s t * w t = 0 → ∃ (c : ℝ), w = fun (b : B) => c * v b
Instances
Convenience accessor: under the Perron–Frobenius hypothesis, the kernel of a degenerate indecomposable PSD off-diagonal-nonpositive form is 1-dimensional with strictly positive generator.
Consequence: under PF hypothesis, any nonzero vector $w$ vanishing at a single index $b_0$ satisfies $Q_f(w) > 0$. This is the form-theoretic version of "any proper principal submatrix is PD".
Hypothesis class encoding the Coxeter classification theorem: a positive-definite Coxeter form implies the underlying Coxeter group is finite (spherical type). Used as an axiom locally to avoid invoking the full classification.
Instances
Convenience accessor: positive-definite Coxeter form implies finite Coxeter group.
Restriction of a Coxeter matrix $M$ to the parabolic subset $I \subseteq B$ of generators.
Instances For
Extend a vector $v : I \to \mathbb R$ to all of $B \to \mathbb R$ by setting components outside $I$ to zero.
Instances For
$\mathrm{extendByZero}(v)$ vanishes outside $I$.
$\mathrm{extendByZero}$ is injective on nonzero vectors.
A sum over $B$ restricts to a sum over $I$ when the summand vanishes outside $I$.
The restricted Coxeter form on $I$ agrees with the original form on the zero-extension: $B_{M|_I}(v, v) = B_M(\bar v, \bar v)$ where $\bar v$ is $\mathrm{extendByZero}(v)$.
Main corollary of Perron–Frobenius for affine Coxeter forms: the form restricted to any proper subset of generators $I \subsetneq B$ is positive definite.
$\ell^\infty$ distance between two geometric-realization points.
Instances For
The $\delta_v$-point: vertex $v$ embedded as a geometric realization point.
