All Questions

This question is twofold. 1) What is the best reference on root systems? 2) Do complex root systems exist?

As the title asks, is the restricted root system of a simple real Lie group irreducible? I believe this is true but I need a reference to cite.

I recently needed to know which circles $S$ in a maximal torus $T^6$ of the compact exceptional group $E_6$ yield one-dimensional subspaces $\mathfrak s$ of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak t^6$ that are ...

Let $R$ be an irreducible root system with a basis $\Pi$. We obtain the Dynkin diagram $D$ and the extended Dynkin diagram ${\widetilde{D}}$ of $R$ with respect to $\Pi$. Let $Q^\vee\subset P^\vee$ ...

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional real compact Lie algebra and $\mathfrak{t}\subset \mathfrak{g}$ a maximal abelian subalgebra. Let $\Delta(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{C},\mathfrak{t}_\mathbb{C})\...
