For Lie algebras of rank at most 2, there is a 1-1 correspondence between the infinitesimal generators other than Cartan subalgebra elements, the root vectors, and the elements of the Weyl group reflections in root space hyperplanes perpendicular to the root vectors.
Weyl chambers for a Lie algebra are defined as the connected components of Rn into which it is divided by all the hyperplanes of fixed points of all the root vectors.
The 24 infinitesimal Lie algebra generators corresponding to the root vectors of Spin(8) are identified by first projecting the Spin(8) root vector 24-cell into the 2-dimensional subspace spanned by {j,k}, which is the subspace perpendicular to the lines {±1} and {±i}.

Weyl met Erwin Schrödinger in 1921, who was appointed Professor at the University of Zürich.
Weyl, as a major figure in the Göttingen school, was fully apprised of Albert Einstein's work from its early days.
After about 1928 Weyl had apparently decided that mathematical intuitionism was not compatible with his enthusiasm for the phenomenological philosophy of Husserl, as he had apparently earlier thought.

 Re: Categories, the Weyl Algebra and Noncommutative Geometry
A quiver is a finite directed graph (without cycles?), and the path algebra is the algebra whose basis is given by the paths in the graph, including the empty paths that stay at one vertex.
These algebras have been studied extensively by people who work on the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras.
I think there is a theorem that says that every finite dimensional algebra has the same representation theory as a special type of quotient of a path algebra of a quiver, and experts can read off a lot of the representation theory from the shape of the quiver.

It is impossible, therefore, to write a good graduate algebra textbook, Q.E.D.-except that a great one was written in the first half of the twentieth century.
One of the themes of mathematics during the past thirty years has been the emergence of nuncommutative algebra, especially in providing new language for mathematical physics and an elaboration of the notion of space.
The premier example of an infinite-dimensional noncommutative algebra is the Weyl algebra, which is generated over the complex numbers by two generators X and X subject to the Hciscnbcrg uncertainty relation XY - YX = 1.

It is generated by the quantum equivalents of position and momentum, which, however, do not commute; indeed their commutator is 1, not zero.
This algebra is now called the Weyl algebra, and it plays a key role in many areas of mathematics, notably the theory of D-modules and the representation theory of Lie algebras.
This paper is a historical tour of the various formalisms of quantum mechanics with special regard to the way in which the Weyl algebra was incarnated in each one of them.

 Weyl/Nuprl
In addition to the usual algebraic objects manipulated by computer algebra systems (polynomials, power series, vectors and matrices), our mathematics substrate Weyl [128], can represent objects from a variety other mathematical domains.
For instance, using Weyl's ability to represent and perform arithmetic with functions (including those specified via their values at points), we were able to synthesize high dimensional dynamical systems from the Navier-Stokes equations using the Galerkin projection using only a page of code (compared to over fifty pages required using other techniques).
Weyl's framework is general enough to support objects like simplices, simplicial complexes and other objects from geometry and topology as ``first class'' objects.

 A new 'doubly special relativity' theory from a quantum Weyl-Poincaré algebra
A 'mass-like' quantum Weyl–Poincaré algebra is proposed to describe, after the identification of the deformation parameter with the Planck length, a new relativistic theory with two observer-independent scales (or 'doubly special relativity' (DSR) theory).
Deformed momentum representation, finite boost transformations, range of rapidity, energy and momentum, and position and velocity operators are explicitly studied and compared with those of previous DSR theories based on κ-Poincaré algebra.
The main novelties of the DSR theory presented here are the new features of momentum saturation and a new type of deformed position operators.

Forming the category algebra of this category, we get the usual algebra of n x n matrices.
And of course if we work over the complex numbers, the representations of the category algebra are like "complex vector bundles with connection".
In this context people often use the term "quiver" to mean a directed graph with finitely many edges and vertices, and talk about "representations of quivers" instead of representations of the corresponding category algebras.
