Principal basis in Cartan subalgebra

Abstract

Let $\Lie{g}$ be a simple complex Lie algebra and $\Lie{h}$ a Cartan subalgebra. In this article we explain how to obtain the principal basis of $\Lie{h}$ starting form a set of generators $\{p_1,...,p_r\}$,$r=\rank(\Lie{g})$, of the invariants polynomials $\Sgg$. For each invariant polynomial $p$, we define a $G$-equivariant map $Dp$ form $\Lie{g}$ to $\Lie{g}$. We show that the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization of the elements $\{D{p}_1({\rho }^{\vee }),...D{p}_r({\rho }^{\vee })\}$ gives the principal basis of $\Lie{h}$. Similarly the orthogonalization of the elements $\{D{p}_1(\rho ),>...D{p}_r(\rho )\}$ produces the principal basis of the Cartan subalgebra of $\lLie{g}$, the Langlands dual of $\Lie{g}$.
