Entry $B_{s,t}$ of the bilinear form on the geometric representation.
Instances For
Symmetry: $B_{s,t} = B_{t,s}$.
Diagonal value: $B_{s,s} = 1$.
The bilinear form on $\mathbb{R}^B$ associated to the Coxeter matrix $M$, defined by $B(v, w) = \sum_{s,t} v_s\, B_{s,t}\, w_t$ where $B_{s,t} = \mathtt{formVal}\,M\,s\,t$. This is the standard form making the geometric representation orthogonal.
Instances For
The standard basis vector $e_s \in \mathbb{R}^B$ supported at $s$ with value $1$.
Instances For
Evaluating the bilinear form on basis vectors recovers the matrix entry: $B(e_s, e_t) = B_{s,t}$.
The reflection $\sigma_s$ on $\mathbb{R}^B$ associated to a simple generator $s$: $\sigma_s(v) = v - 2\, B(v, e_s)\, e_s$. This is the simple reflection in the geometric representation.
Instances For
The reflection $\sigma_s$ negates $e_s$: $\sigma_s(e_s) = -e_s$.
