Unipotent radicals of injective-weight parabolics #
For an injective weight w : Fin N → ℤ, the dynamic parabolic P(w) has diagonal-torus
Levi quotient and weight-unipotent kernel U(w). This file identifies that kernel with the
unipotent radical of P(w).
The normality and kernel calculation come from the represented dynamic Levi decomposition. The weight-unipotent coordinate algebra is polynomial, hence smooth and geometrically connected, and its points are unipotent. The general diagonalizable-quotient criterion then gives the claimed equality of Hopf ideals.

The unipotent radical of an injective-weight parabolic is its weight-unipotent subgroup. The pullback along the displayed object equality presents the result in the coordinate algebra where the canonical weight-unipotent ideal is defined.
