Abstract
Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra, h its Cartan subalgebra, and Σ and \( \prod =\left\{ {{\beta }_{1}},\ldots ,{{\beta }_{i}} \right\} \)the root system of g and a basis of the root system, respectively. It is known that the Weyl group W(g) is a finite group generated by reflections [3]
