Summary: Consider a crystallographic root system together with its Weyl group $W$ acting on the weight lattice $\Lambda$. Let $\ZZ[\Lambda]^W$ and $S(\Lambda)^W$ be the $W$-invariant subrings of the integral group ring $\ZZ[\Lambda]$ and the symmetric algebra $S(\Lambda)$ respectively. A celebrated result by Chevalley says that $\ZZ[\Lambda]^W$ is a polynomial ring in classes of fundamental representations $\rho_1,...,\rho_n$ and $S(\Lambda)^W\otimes\{Q}$ is a polynomial ring in basic polynomial invariants $q_1,...,q_n$. In the present paper we establish and investigate the relationship between $\rho_i$'s and $q_i$'s over the integers. As an application we provide estimates for the torsion of the Grothendieck $\gamma$-filtration and the Chow groups of some twisted flag varieties up to codimension 4.
