English
Over a field of characteristic zero, for any x in the α-chain top root space, the scalar chainLength α β (viewed in the base field) acting on x yields the Lie bracket with the coroot α: (chainLength α β) · x = [coroot α, x].
Русский
В поле характеристика 0 для любого x из α-цепи в верхнем уровне корней действие скаляра chainLength α β на x равно скобке [coroot α, x].
