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.

Instances For
A Borel subgroup over a ring is a smooth closed subgroup whose geometric fibers are Borel subgroups.
Construct a Borel subgroup over a ring from smoothness over the base and the Borel property of every geometric fiber.
A Borel subgroup over a ring is smooth over the base.
Every geometric fiber of a Borel subgroup over a ring is a Borel subgroup of the geometric fiber of the ambient group.
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

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.
