Weight spaces of a closed subgroup in a representation #

Let H be the coordinate Hopf algebra of an affine group G, let the Hopf ideal I cut out a closed subgroup N, and let V be a representation of G. A character of N is a group-like element χ of H ⧸ I, and the χ-weight space of V consists of the vectors on which N acts through χ: those whose coaction, restricted to N, is v ↦ v ⊗ χ. Characters and weight spaces are scheme-theoretic, so nonreduced subgroups such as μ_p are allowed.

A rational point g of G normalizing N restricts to an automorphism of N, whose coordinate map is a bialgebra endomorphism of H ⧸ I. Acting by g carries the χ-weight space into the weight space of the character n ↦ χ (g⁻¹ n g). Every rational point normalizes a normal subgroup, so the sum of the weight spaces of a normal subgroup is stable under all rational points. Over an algebraically closed field and for reduced H of finite type, rational points detect subcomodules, so this sum is a subrepresentation of V; over a field the sum is direct.

This is the first step of the classical proof that a normal subgroup is the kernel of a representation: by Chevalley's theorem N is the stabilizer of a line, which lies in one weight space of N, and G acts on the block-diagonal endomorphisms of the sum of the weight spaces with kernel N.

The weight space of a character χ of the closed subgroup N cut out by I in a representation V of the ambient group: the vectors on which N acts through χ. In coordinates, χ is a group-like element of H ⧸ I, and the coaction of V, restricted to N, sends a weight vector v to v ⊗ χ.

    The weight spaces of a normal closed subgroup are permuted by every rational point, so their sum is stable under the action of rational points.

    Rational points permute the weight spaces of a normal subgroup. A rational point g maps the χ-weight space of a normal closed subgroup N onto the weight space of the conjugate character n ↦ χ (g⁻¹ n g).
