This paper describes a new invariant theory for root systems. We briefly outline the main geometric applications; for precise results we refer the reader to the relevant theorems. Let R be a root system, R v its dual and QV the lattice generated by R v. If E is an elliptic curve over tr, then A:= QV| is an abelian variety on which the Weyl group W of R acts. It is easily shown that there is a W-invariant symmetric bilinear form I on QV such that 1 takes the value 2 on the roots of smallest length. It follows from the theorem of Appell-Humbert that there exists a line bundle 5O over A of" Chern class"-I such that the action of W on A lifts to an action of W on 5 with the property that W leaves the fibre over 0cA fixed. Then 5 1 is ample and the algebra of W-invariant sections oo
