Abstract

FINDING: The Weyl group fixed-point subspace within a Cartan subalgebra defines the fundamental domain of root-system symmetry, and root spaces are 1-dimensional for compact semisimple groups — a structural rigidity that underpins all simple Lie algebra classifications. MATH: - Cartan subalgebra \(\mathfrak{h}\) of semisimple \(\mathfrak{g}\); root decomposition: \(\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h} \oplus \bigoplus_{\alpha \in \Delta} \mathfrak{g}_\alpha\), with \(\dim \mathfrak{g}_\alpha = 1\) (for compact semisimple). - Weyl group \(W = N_G(\mathfrak{h})/Z_G(\mathfrak{h})\) acts on \(\mathfrak{h}^*\); fixed-point subspace: \(\mathfrak{h}^W = \{ h \in \mathfrak{h} : w \cdot h = h \ \forall w \in W \}\). - Weyl character formula: \(\chi_\lambda = \frac{\sum_{w \in W} (-1)^{\ell(w)} e^{w(\lambda+\rho)}}{\sum_{w \in W} (-1)^{\ell(w)} e^{w(\rho)}}\), with \(\rho = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{\alpha \in \Delta^+} \alpha\). - Frobenius Lie algebra principal element: \(w = \sum_i x_i y_i\) (from Ge Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
