A BN-pair in a group $G$ consists of subgroups $B,N$ such that $G=⟨B,N⟩$, $H=B\cap N$ is normal in $N$, and $W=N/H$ has distinguished involutory generators satisfying the Bruhat multiplication axioms. The quotient $W$ is its Weyl group.

For a connected reductive algebraic group, a Borel subgroup $B$, and a maximal torus $T\subseteq B$, the Weyl group $W=N_G(T)/T$ indexes the double cosets:

For a chosen positive system of a root system $\Pi$, the inversion set isFor a finite Weyl group, $|N(w)|=\ell (w)$.

Root bases correspond bijectively to Weyl chambers: the walls of a chamber determine its inward simple roots. The Weyl group acts transitively on the chambers. One proof joins interior points of two chambers by a generic line segment. Each time the segment crosses one reflecting hyperplane, reflect the remaining segment across that wall; the resulting product of root reflections sends the first chamber to the second. It consequently sends the first root basis to the second. Thus $W$ acts transitively on root bases.

The weight lattice isFor each root $\alpha$, restrict $V$ to the subalgebraIf $V_{\lambda }\ne 0$, the ${\mathfrak{sl}}_2$ classification shows that the $h_{\alpha }$-eigenvalue $\lambda (h_{\alpha })=⟨\lambda ,{\alpha }^{\vee }⟩$ is an integer. Hence $\lambda \in X$.

The same classification makes every $\alpha$-string symmetric underand preserves weight multiplicity. Since the Weyl group is generated by these simple reflections,

The Weyl reflection formula $s_{\alpha }(x)=x-⟨x,{\alpha }^{\vee }⟩\alpha$ becomes especially concrete on $x=(x_1,\dots ,x_n)$:with all unlisted coordinates fixed. The Weyl group is therefore the group of signed permutations

Let $R^{+}$ be the positive roots, $W$ the Weyl group, $\ell (w)$ its Coxeter length, $\rho$ the half-sum of positive roots, and ${\alpha }^{\vee }$ a coroot. For a dominant integral highest weight $\lambda$, the Weyl character formula isTaking the value at the identity gives the Weyl dimension formula

For the q-character convention relevant to the Principal sl2 subalgebra, set $h_{\mathrm{pr}}=2{\rho }^{\vee }$, so ${\alpha }_i(h_{\mathrm{pr}})=2$ for every simple root, and defineThe q-character formula is the principal specialization of the Weyl character formula:

A BN-pair consists of subgroups $B,N\le G$ for which $G=⟨B,N⟩$, the subgroup $H=B\cap N$ is normal in $N$, the quotient $W=N/H$ is generated by a distinguished set $S$ of involutions, and the Bruhat multiplication and nondegeneracy axioms hold. The quotient is the associated Weyl group, and the axioms give the Bruhat decomposition of a BN-pair

The Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a BN-pair may be defined, up to the usual opposite-algebra convention, byIts standard basis $(T_w{)}_{w\in W}$ is indexed by the Bruhat double cosets. For a simple generator $x_i$ represented by ${\dot{x}}_i\in N$, setThe double-coset multiplication rule is the generic rule from part a with $a_i$ specialized to $q_i\cdot 1_k$. Thus $H_k(G,B)$ is a specialization of the generic algebra.
