Borel subgroups of affine group schemes over a ring #

Let H be the coordinate Hopf algebra of a finite-type affine group G over a commutative ring R, and let I be a Hopf ideal of H, cutting out a closed subgroup B of G. Then B is a Borel subgroup of G when it is smooth over R and every geometric fiber of B is a Borel subgroup of the corresponding geometric fiber of G: for every algebraically closed field k with an R-algebra structure, the base-changed ideal I_k is minimal among the defining ideals of smooth, connected, solvable closed subgroups of G_k.

This is the relative notion of Borel subgroup used for reductive group schemes, where a pinning consists of a split maximal torus, a Borel subgroup containing it, and root vectors for the simple roots. Smoothness over the base is imposed explicitly, as in the relative definition; the fiberwise condition alone only controls the geometric fibers.

Over a field k, a Borel subgroup in this sense is in particular a Borel subgroup in the sense of TauCeti.HopfIdeal.IsBorel, which only tests the base change to AlgebraicClosure k.

Borel subgroups over a ring are transported along isomorphisms of coordinate Hopf algebras and are stable under arbitrary base change R → S, so a Borel subgroup chosen over ℤ specializes to every commutative ring.

A Hopf ideal I of the coordinate Hopf algebra H of a finite-type affine group G over R cuts out a Borel subgroup of G when the closed subgroup it defines is smooth over R and, on every geometric fiber, is a Borel subgroup of the geometric fiber of G.

    Over a field, a Borel subgroup over the base is a Borel subgroup: its base change to the algebraic closure is a Borel subgroup there.

    Pulling a Borel subgroup back across an isomorphism e : H ≅ L of coordinate Hopf algebras gives a Borel subgroup of the source.

    Borel status over a ring is invariant under pulling the defining ideal back across an isomorphism of coordinate Hopf algebras.

    Base change of a Borel subgroup along R → S: the base-changed ideal cuts out a Borel subgroup of the base-changed affine group. Its geometric fibers are geometric fibers of the original Borel subgroup.
