The centralizer and the diagonalizable subgroup are normal in the normalizer #
Let G = Spec H be an affine group scheme over a commutative ring R and D(X) → G a closed
diagonalizable subgroup with surjective coordinate map π : H →ₐc[R] R[X]. The normalizer
N_G(D(X)) is cut out by BialgHom.normalizerHopfIdeal π hπ, and the centralizer Z_G(D(X))
by BialgHom.centralizerHopfIdeal π. This file shows that Z_G(D(X)) is a closed subgroup of
N_G(D(X)), that both D(X) and Z_G(D(X)) are normal in N_G(D(X)), and that the normalizer
is the whole group exactly when D(X) is normal in G.
A closed subgroup of N_G(D(X)) is cut out by the image, in the quotient Hopf algebra
H ⧸ normalizerHopfIdeal π hπ, of the Hopf ideal of H cutting it out in G. It is normal as
soon as the points of the normalizer, which are the points normalizing D(X) after every
extension of the value algebra, normalize its points in G. For D(X) this is the definition
of the normalizer. For Z_G(D(X)), conjugating a point commuting with every point of D(X) by
a point normalizing D(X) yields another such point.
