Abstract

Let g=iZ/mZgi\mathfrak{g} = \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z} /m \mathbb{Z}} \mathfrak{g}_i be a periodically graded semisimple complex Lie algebra. In this note, we give a uniform proof of the recent result by W. de Graaf and H. V. L\^e that the hyperplane arrangement determined by the restrictions of the roots of g\mathfrak{g} to a Cartan subspace cg1\mathfrak{c} \subset \mathfrak{g}_1 coincides with the hyperplane arrangement of (complex) reflections of the little Weyl group of g=iZ/mZgi\mathfrak{g} = \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z} /m \mathbb{Z}} \mathfrak{g}_i.
