Let W be the Weyl group of a semisimple Lie algebra \( \mathfrak{g} \) (associate to fixed choice of a Cartan subalgebra \( \mathfrak{h}) \). Assume that a set of simple roots in \(\mathfrak{h}^* \) is chosen.

The affine action (also called the dot action) of the Weyl group on the space \( \mathfrak{h}^* \) is

\( w\cdot \lambda:=w(\lambda+\delta)-\delta \)

where \( \delta \)is the sum of all fundamental weights, or, equivalently, the half of the sum of all positive roots.
