Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 4. Root system associated to a compact group

The homomorphisms of Z\mathbf{Z}-modules δ:X(S)→\delta : X(S)\rightarrow HomC(L(S)(C),C)_{\mathbf{C}}(L(S)_{(\mathbf{C})},\mathbf{C}) and ι:Γ(S)→L(S)(C)(ι\iota :\Gamma (S)\rightarrow L(S)_{(\mathbf{C})}(\iota is induced by the canonical injection of Γ(S)\Gamma (S) into L(S)) extend to isomorphisms of C\mathbf{C}-vector spaces

u:C⊗X(S)→u:\mathbf{C}\otimes X(S)\rightarrow HomC(L(S)(C),C)_{\mathbf{C}}(L(S)_{(\mathbf{C})},\mathbf{C})

v:C⊗Γ(S)→L(S)(C) v:\mathbf{C}\otimes \Gamma (S)\rightarrow L(S)_{(\mathbf{C})}

which we shall call canonical in the sequel. Note that, if we extend the pairing between X(S) and Γ(S)\Gamma (S) by C\mathbf{C}-linearity to a bilinear form ≪,≫\ll ,\gg on (C⊗X(S))×(C⊗Γ(\mathbf{C}\otimes X(S))\times (\mathbf{C}\otimes \Gamma(S)), then

⟨u(a),v(b)⟩=2πi≪a,b≫ \langle u(a), v(b)\rangle = 2\pi i\ll a, b\gg

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.
