Exercise 3, § 2

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, VI

With the notation and assumptions of no. 3, let uu be an automorphism of the affine space EE that permutes the hyperplanes Lα,kL_{\alpha, k} (α∈R,k∈Z\alpha \in R, k \in \mathbf{Z}). Show that uu is a displacement. (If u0u_0 is the linear map associated to uu, show that the transpose of uu leaves RR stable, and hence belongs to the group A(R)A(R).) Deduce that GG is the normaliser of WaW_a in the group of automorphisms of the affine space EE.
