COMMENT

Comment from Noam Elkies, Apr 07 2008: Since Aut(E8) is a reflection group one can compute this using nonnegative combinations of the basis dual to the simple roots, since these are the lattice vectors in a fundamental domain and so include a unique representative of each orbit.

PROGRAM

(PARI/GP program from Noam Elkies, Apr 07 2008) M = 2*matid(8); for(i=1, 6, M[i, i+1] = M[i+1, i] = -1); M[3, 8] = M[8, 3] = -1; \\ M is now the Gram matrix for the simple roots of E8

M = 1/M; \\ M is now the Gram matrix for the dual basis to the simple roots; their nonnegative combinations are a fundamental domain for W(E8)

{ orbit_counts(N) =

c = vector(N);

v = vector(8, n, 0);

j = 1;

while(j<9, j = 1; v[1]++; k = v*M*v~; while(k>2*N, v[j]=0; j++; if(j<9, v[j]++; k=v*M*v~, k=0)); if(k, c[k/2]++); );

return(concat(1, c)) }

orbit_counts(100)
