Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter V, § 4. The geometric representation of a Coxeter group
If is irreducible and finite, its graph is a tree.
Indeed, a connected forest is a tree.
Comparison with the results of § 3.
First of all let be a finite Coxeter group. Denote by the form ; by Th. 2, this is a scalar product on . For all , let be the hyperplane associated to the orthogonal reflection , and let be the family of hyperplanes , for , . Let be the set of such that for all . Finally, identify (by means of ) with a subgroup of the orthogonal group of the space .
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
