    1. Consider the Weyl group W (Bn )

    ◦ ··· ◦ ◦
    s1 sn−1 sn

    (a) Write down the defining relations of the generators s1 , ..., sn−1 , sn encoded by the
    above Dynkin diagram.

    (b) Given that

    αi = i − i+1 , for i = 1, ..., n − 1,


    αn = n ,

    where i , i = 1, ..., n are the unit vectors of Rn . Find expressions for the fundamental
    weights h1 , ..., hi , ..., hn in terms of the i s.

    For a unit n-cube with vertices of the form


    1
    (±1 + ... ± n ) .
    2
    (c) Express the centre of the i-dimensional faces (0-faces: vertices, 1-faces: edges, 2-
    faces: squares, ... etc.) in terms of the weights. (Hint. They are the vertices of the
    fundamental region of the group W (Bn ).

    (d) Use the relation |Orbit(x)||Stab(x)| = |W | to obtain a formula for the number of
    i-faces of the n-cube. Note that |W (An )| = (n + 1)! and |W (Bn )| = 2n n!.
