The B3​ roots are ±εi​±εj​ for 1≤i<j≤3 and ±εi​ for 1≤i≤3. Its root basis α1​=ε1​−ε2​, α2​=ε2​−ε3​, α3​=ε3​ exhibits it as the dual root system of the C3 root system. With Aij​=⟨αi​,αj∨​⟩, its Cartan matrix is
​2−10​−12−1​0−22​​.

The fundamental representation of highest weight [1,0,0] is the seven-dimensional vector representation, with weights ±ε1​,±ε2​,±ε3​,0.
