Pinnings with a chosen split maximal torus over a connected base #
A pinning consists of a split maximal torus, a Borel containing it, and a generator of its Lie algebra's root space for each simple root. The positive roots are the nontrivial adjoint weights whose entire root space lies in the Lie algebra of the Borel. The simple roots are the positive roots which cannot be written as the sum of two positive roots. Thus the indexing of the generators is determined by the group, torus, and Borel; it is not an independently supplied root system. The base spectrum is required to be connected: on a disconnected base different components can select opposite positive systems, so global characters alone need not index all fiberwise simple roots.
Pinning records generators as linear equivalences from the base ring onto the simple
root spaces. This expresses generation and freeness, rather than merely choosing nonzero
vectors, which would be insufficient over a ring. Smoothness and finite type remain
explicit hypotheses; reductivity over the base is certified by the data.

A positive root relative to a closed subgroup is a nontrivial adjoint weight whose root space lies in the subgroup's tangent Lie algebra. For a Borel containing the torus in a reductive group over a connected base, this is its positive root system. Characters are written additively in the exponent lattice of the torus.
