Weyl distance function
text:
In combinatorial geometry, the Weyl distance function is a function that behaves in some ways like the distance function of a metric space, but instead of taking values in the positive real numbers, it takes values in a group of reflections, called the Weyl group. This distance function is defined on the collection of chambers in a mathematical structure known as a building, and its value on a pair of chambers a minimal sequence of reflections to go from one chamber to the other.
