The centralizer C(w) of an elliptic element w in a Weyl group has a natural symplectic representation on the group ofw-coinvariants in the root lattice. We give the basic properties of this representation, along with applications to p-adic groups classifying maximal tori and computing inducing data in Lpackets as well as to elucidating the structure of the centralizer C(w) itself. We give the structure of each elliptic centralizer in W (E8) in terms of its coinvariant representation, and we refine Springer’s theory for elliptic regular elements to give explicit complex reflections generating C(w). The case where w has order three is examined in detail, with connections to mathematics of the 19th century. A variation of the methods recovers the subgroup W (H4) ⊂ W (E8).
