The action of $N$ on the standard apartment $W$ by left translation: $n \cdot w = \pi(n) \cdot w$.
Instances For
Elements of $T = B \cap N$ act trivially on the apartment $W$: $\pi(t) = 1$ for $t \in T$, hence $t \cdot w = w$ for every $w \in W$.
T-kernel lemma (§5.2): the torus $T$, viewed as a subgroup of $N$, coincides with the kernel of the projection $\pi : N \to W$. Equivalently $T = \pi^{-1}(1)$.
$T$ is normal in $N$, since $T = \ker \pi$ as a subgroup of $N$.
The induced homomorphism $N/T \to W$ obtained by descending $\pi : N \to W$ through its kernel $T$.
Instances For
$N/T \to W$ is injective: its kernel equals $T/T = 1$.
$N/T \to W$ is surjective, since $\pi : N \to W$ is already surjective.
$N/T \to W$ is bijective.
The isomorphism $N/T \cong W$. Packages quotientToW and its bijectivity into a
group isomorphism, identifying the Weyl group $W$ of the Coxeter system with the
quotient $N/T$ of the BN-pair.
