Extract
Let be the universal Chevalley group ([1], p. 197) of type over a field K and where Ф is the set of roots of . Let n = {α1, α2, …, an} be a fundamental system of roots of and put
Then we know from [2] (p. 950) that
where h is the Coxeter number of We call an element of conjugate to W a Coxeter element and an element conjugate to M a Kac element.
