Description (last modified by )
Implement various things for affine root systems:
- The symmetric form
( | )
. - Methods for checking the short/long/imaginary roots.
- Modelling the positive roots roots in affine types.
- Basic untwisted types (so type A2n(2) would give A2n).
- (Dual) Coxeter numbers for finite types.

Hey Dan,
I've fixed it. The (first r
) columns are given by P.simple_roots()
, and it's the inverse matrix should have the Kac labels (which it does).
comment:15 Changed 8 years ago by
Glad you got it fixed. I'll start looking at the patch.

Travis: do you mind updating the description of the ticket to give an overview of the changes?
Thanks!

The scalar product that was implemented is fundamental in Kac' book and for that alone this is an important patch.
I got one doctest failure in weight_space.py:
sage -t weight_space.py ********************************************************************** File "weight_space.py", line 131, in sage.combinat.root_system.weight_space.WeightSpace Failed example: for ct in CartanType.samples(crystallographic=True)+[CartanType(["A",2],["C",5,1])]: TestSuite(ct.root_system().weight_lattice()).run() TestSuite(ct.root_system().weight_space()).run() Expected nothing Got: Failure in _test_not_implemented_methods: Traceback (most recent call last): [snip] AssertionError: Not implemented method: _symmetric_form_matrix
In cartan_type.py
you could delete the sentence on line 108 since you do implement Coxeter numbers!
For the positive roots, imaginary roots, etc. The user might like to know how to get a list of them. For *untwisted* types you can do this.
sage: PR=RootSystem(['A',3,1]).root_lattice().positive_real_roots() sage: [PR.unrank(i) for i in [0..4]] [alpha[1], alpha[2], alpha[3], alpha[1] + alpha[2], alpha[2] + alpha[3]]
Is there a more obvious way? And should something like this be in the doctest?
In the method basic_imaginary_roots the docstring still refers to simple imaginary roots (twice).
It would be good if there were pointers to Kac' book in some places. For example, in symmetric_form, the doc could have a pointer to Chapter 6. The Coxeter number method could have a pointer to Bourbaki, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras V.6.1.
comment:20 Changed 8 years ago by
I've created #16320 to make it easier to access elements in an infinite list (but I have not merged it in so it's not a dependency). I'm not sure if at the end of the day we want to keep using DisjointUnionEnumeratedSets
and possibly adding better general support for those or making our own special subclasses and having them be better targeted for the roots here. Nicolas, do you have any thoughts/comments on this?
IMO this can be left for a follow-up ticket unless there is a simple and clear better solution. Although if #16320 is a good way to go, I'll merge that in and update the doctests accordingly.

Still two doctest failures in root_lattice_realizations.py
.
sage -t root_lattice_realizations.py ********************************************************************** File "root_lattice_realizations.py", line 634, in sage.combinat.root_system.root_lattice_realizations.RootLatticeRealizations.ParentMethods.positive_real_roots Failed example: PRR = L.positive_real_roots(); PRR Expected nothing Got: Positive real roots of type ['A', 3, 1] ********************************************************************** File "root_lattice_realizations.py", line 635, in sage.combinat.root_system.root_lattice_realizations.RootLatticeRealizations.ParentMethods.positive_real_roots Failed example: [PRR.unrank(i) for i in range(10)] Expected: Positive real roots of type ['A', 3, 1] [alpha[1], -snip-

Whoops, forgot to commit.
comment:25 Changed 8 years ago by
All tests passed!
The following breaks:
[RootSystem?(['A',2,2]).root_lattice().positive_roots().unrank(x) for x in [0..10]]
It works for untwisted types. Is this a limitation of the patch or an unexpected failure?
If it is a limitation of the patch maybe it should be noted in the patch description. Also it might be better to fail with a not implemented error than with:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for //: 'RootSpace_with_category.element_class' and 'int'

comment:27 Changed 8 years ago by
That was an error. Fixed now.
comment:28 Changed 8 years ago by
What about this?
sage: RootSystem(['D',4,2]).root_lattice().positive_roots() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-11-ea364fc7aada> in <module>() ----> 1 RootSystem(['D',Integer(4),Integer(2)]).root_lattice().positive_roots() -snip - AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dual'
BTW Sage reports this root system as Root lattice of the Root system of type ['C', 3, 1]*
If I have my facts straight Macdonald introduced a classification of affine root systems in his paper "Affine root systems and the Dedekind eta function" Inventiones 1972 but Kac didn't follow Macdonald. He introduced his own classification. So we are entering root systems in Kac' notation and they are getting converted automatically to Macdonald's notation. Of course that policy was not introduced by this patch but I mention that I've personally found it a little confusing.

Another (stupid) error on my part. Fixed.
Also if you want to display in Kac's notation, you can do the following (it's somewhat hidden at the bottom of CatanType?
):
sage: CartanType.global_options(notation='Kac') sage: CartanType(['D',4,2]) ['D', 4, 2]

The following returns an error:
sage: sr=RootSystem(['A',6,2]).weight_lattice().simple_roots() sage: sr[0].symmetric_form(sr[1]) ... TypeError: no conversion of this rational to integer
There is no error if we use the root_lattice.

Hey Dan,
I've fixed the issue; the matrix stack()
command doesn't coerce (well, it's more of I've worked around it and is now #16399). I've added some more doctests about this. I'll merge in the latest beta later tonight.

- Reviewers changed from Dan Bump to Daniel Bump
- Status changed from needs_review to positive_review
This patch implements some important things from Chapter 6 of Kac' book for both twisted and untwisted affine Lie algebras, as methods of the root_lattice_realization or the weight_lattice_realization. These include a method of enumerating the positive roots (both real and imaginary), the invariant bilinear form, and a few other things. I tested with Kac' book in front of me, and all the problems I found have been addressed.
