Weight-Levi subgroup schemes of the general linear group #
An integer weight w i on each coordinate of GL_N decomposes the standard representation into
its weight spaces. The corresponding Levi subgroup consists of the invertible matrices preserving
every weight space, so its (i,j) entry vanishes whenever w i ≠ w j.
This file represents that subgroup over an arbitrary commutative base ring. Its defining Hopf
ideal is the join of the weight-parabolic ideals for w and -w: intersecting the two opposite
block-triangular subgroups leaves precisely the block-diagonal Levi. This construction reuses the
weight-parabolic Hopf-ideal and closed-subgroup API rather than repeating its comultiplication and
antipode calculations.
