Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 4. Split semi-simple Lie algebra defined by a reduced root system

Let R be a reduced root system, B a basis of R. Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra defined by the generating family ((Xα,Hα,X−α))α∈B((X_{\alpha}, H_{\alpha}, X_{-\alpha}))_{\alpha\in B} and the relations (16) to (22). Let h=∑α∈BkHα\mathfrak{h}=\sum_{\alpha\in B}kH_{\alpha}. Then (g,h)(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h}) is a split semi-simple Lie algebra. The isomorphism μ→μB\mu \rightarrow \mu_B from V to h∗\mathfrak{h}^* maps R to the root system of (g,h)(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h}). For all μ∈R,gμ\mu\in R,\mathfrak{g}^\mu is the eigenspace relative to the root μ\mu.

The proof follows that of Lemmas 8, 9, 10, 11.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
