Weyl group of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$ $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex semisimple lie algebra which is a subalgebra of some $\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb{C})$, we have chosen a compact real form $\mathfrak{l}$ of $\mathfrak{g}$ and let $K$ be the compact subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ whose lie algebra is $\mathfrak{l}$, we have chosen a maximal commutative subalgebra $\mathfrak{t}$ of $\mathfrak{l}$ and we work with the associated cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}=\mathfrak{t}+i\mathfrak{t}$, we have chosen an inner product on $\mathfrak{g}$ that is invariant under the adjoint action of $K$ and that takes real values on $\mathfrak{l}$. Consider the subgroups: $$Z(\mathfrak{t})=\{A\in K: \operatorname{Ad}_A(H)=H,\forall H\in \mathfrak{t}\}$$ $$N(\mathfrak{t})=\{\operatorname{Ad}_A(H)\in \mathfrak{t},\forall H\in\mathfrak{t}\}$$
Weyl group is defined as $W=N(\mathfrak{t})/Z(\mathfrak{t})$,
for $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$ we take $\mathfrak{t}=\left\{\left(\begin{smallmatrix}ia&0\\0&-ia\end{smallmatrix}\right):a\in\mathbb{R}\right\}$
I understand $Z(\mathfrak{t})=\left\{\left(\begin{smallmatrix}e^{ia}&0\\0&e^{-ia}\end{smallmatrix}\right):a\in\mathbb{R}\right\}$
 and $N(\mathfrak{t})=\left\{\left(\begin{smallmatrix}e^{ia}&0\\0&e^{-ia}\end{smallmatrix}\right):a\in\mathbb{R}\right\}$ or $N(\mathfrak{t})=\left\{\left(\begin{smallmatrix}0&e^{ia}\\-e^{-ia}&0\end{smallmatrix}\right):a\in\mathbb{R}\right\}$
but I dont understand why the quotient group $N(\mathfrak{t})/Z(\mathfrak{t})$ has $2$ elements? Could it not be only one element?
And I do not understand the action of the Weyl group on $\mathfrak{t}$, please help.
 A: The centralizer $Z(\mathfrak{t})$ is a subgroup of the normalizer $N(\mathfrak{t})$.
Note that
$$Z(\mathfrak{t})=\left\{\begin{pmatrix} a&\\&a^{-1}\end{pmatrix}a\in\mathbb{R}^\times_{+}\right\}
$$
and
$$N(\mathfrak{t})=\left\{\begin{pmatrix} a&\\&a^{-1}\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix}&-b\\b\end{pmatrix},a,b\in\mathbb{R}^\times_{+}\right\}.
$$
Thus obviously
$$N(\mathfrak{t})/Z(\mathfrak {t})=\left\{\begin{pmatrix} 1&\\&1\end{pmatrix}Z(\mathfrak{t}),\quad\begin{pmatrix} &-1\\1&\end{pmatrix}Z(\mathfrak{t})\right\}$$
contains only two elements.
Note that $Z(\mathfrak{t})$ acts on $A$ trivially. Thus one can choose the following two elements
$$
I=\begin{pmatrix} 1&\\&1\end{pmatrix},\quad\omega=\begin{pmatrix} &-1\\1&\end{pmatrix}
$$
in the cosets, repsectively.
The Adjoint action of $I$ on elements $\begin{pmatrix} ia_1\\&ia_2\end{pmatrix}$ gives
$$
\mathrm{Ad} (I)\begin{pmatrix} ia_1\\&ia_2\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} ia_1\\&ia_2\end{pmatrix},
$$
and
$$
\mathrm{Ad} (\omega)\begin{pmatrix} ia_1\\&ia_2\end{pmatrix}=\omega\begin{pmatrix} ia_1\\&ia_2\end{pmatrix}\omega^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix} ia_2\\&ia_1\end{pmatrix}.
$$
