Write for the Inversion set of a Weyl-group element. Part b shows that permutes . It follows that right multiplication by changes the size of the inversion set by
Indeed, all roots other than are merely relabelled, while . Part c gives exactly the same recursion for the Coxeter length. Both quantities vanish at the identity, so induction along any word in the simple reflections gives
