    Abstract

    Suppose W is a Weyl group with Φ = Φ(W) a root system of W. The set D of root differences is given by D = {α − β : α, β, ∈ Φ}. We define t(Φ) to be the maximum exponent of the torsion subgroup of ZΦ/ZC, for any C⫅D. In this article we show that if W is of type A n , then t(Φ) = 2n.
