Connected affine groups preserve normal-subgroup weight spaces #
Let a reduced connected affine group of finite type over an algebraically closed field act on a finite-dimensional comodule. Its rational points preserve every nonzero joint weight space for any normal subgroup of the rational point group. The normal subgroup need not be closed.
Normality permutes the finitely many nonzero joint weights. For a weight vector v, choose a
functional taking value one on v. Evaluating that functional on g⁻¹ n g v realizes the
conjugated character at n as a regular function of g. Its finite image and connectedness make
it constant. This supplies the weight-space invariance used in the Lie--Kolchin induction.
