Rank-two subsystems of a C3 root system

ID: rank-two-subsystems-of-a-c3-root-system

In the realization , each coordinate two-plane cuts out a C2 root system. Each plane cuts out an A2 root system; there are four such planes after identifying opposite normals. Thus the irreducible full rank-two root subsystems comprise three of type and four of type . For an simple pair , equal lengths and angle degrees give roots . For a mixed-length simple pair with and , the B2 root system has roots . These lists also verify that the selected pairs are simple, rather than simply independent.
