Returns true if, and only if, the root systems R1 and R2 are identical.
Returns true if, and only if, root systems R1 and R2 are isomorphic.
Returns true if, and only if, the crystallographic root systems R1 and R2 are
Cartan equivalent, i.e. their Cartan matrices are the same modulo a permutation
of the underlying basis.
Note that the root systems B
n and C
n are isomorphic but not
Cartan equivalent. Hence Cartan equivalence is
not an
invariant of a root system since it depends on the particular
representation of the (co)roots within the (co)root space.

BaseRing(R) : RootSys -> Fld
The field over which the root system R is defined.
The real injection of the root system R (Section Constructing Root Systems).
The rankof the root system R, i.e. the
number of simple (co)roots.
The dimension of the root system R, i.e. the dimension of the (co)root
space. This is always at least as large as the rank, with equality when
R is semisimple.
The order of the Coxeter group of the root system R.
