-% TODOO: Note that this prove is similar to the previous one, and that the
-% equivariance of the map follows from the nature of the isomorphism W ≅ S_n
-% TODO: The normalization constant 2n is choosen because
-% λ(H_β) = 2n κ(λ, β) and m(λ) is thus uniquely characterized by the fact that

+The proof of this result is very similar to that of
+Proposition~\ref{thm:better-sp(2n)-parameters} in spirit: the equivariance of
+the map \(m : \mathfrak{h}^* \to \{ \mathfrak{sl}_n\textrm{-sequences} \}\)
+follows from the nature of the isomorphism \(W \cong S_n\), as described in
+Example~\ref{ex:sl-weyl-group}. The number \(2 n\) is a normalization constant
+chosen because \(\lambda(H_\beta) = 2 n \, \kappa(\lambda, \beta)\) for all
+\(\lambda \in \mathfrak{h}^*\) and \(\beta \in \Sigma\). Hence \(m(\lambda)\)
+is uniquely characterized by the property that \((\lambda + \rho)(H_{\beta_i})
+= m(\lambda)_i - m(\lambda)_{i+1}\) for all \(i\), which is relevant to the
+proof of the equivalence between the contiditions of
+Lemma~\ref{thm:sl-bounded-weights} and those explained in the last statement of
+Proposition~\ref{thm:better-sl(n)-parameters}.
