The roots-of-unity group scheme #
For a commutative ring R and a natural number n, the roots-of-unity group scheme is the
diagonalizable group
mu_n = D(ULift (Multiplicative (ZMod n))).
The universe lift places the character group in the universe of R, as required by the
current scheme-level diagonalizable-group API. This file synchronizes that presentation with
the existing group-algebra and functor-of-points presentations:
- scheme-valued points of
mu_nare the subgrouprootsOfUnity n Aof the units of a value algebraA; - the quotient of lifted character groups induced by
Z -> Z/ngives a group-scheme morphismmu_n -> G_mwhose action on points is the usual inclusion of roots of unity into units; - this morphism is a closed immersion, since its coordinate map is the surjective group-algebra map induced by the quotient of character groups.
All statements include n = 0, n = 1, and the zero base and value rings. The classical
quotient presentation by T ^ n - 1 and the realization as the kernel of the power map are
separate constructions.
This advances Layer 4 and the worked-examples lane of the reductive-groups roadmap by keeping
the Hopf-algebra, group-scheme, and functor-of-points descriptions of mu_n synchronized.

The roots-of-unity group scheme
mu_n = D(ULift (Multiplicative (ZMod n))) over Spec R.
Equations
Instances For
Scheme-valued points of mu_n over Spec R are the nth roots of unity in the value
algebra.
The corresponding root of unity is obtained by evaluating the character at the lifted standard
generator of Multiplicative (ZMod n).

Instances For
A scheme-valued point of mu_n, viewed as a root of unity, is obtained by evaluating
its coordinate-algebra point on the lifted standard generator.
The scheme point associated to a root of unity evaluates the lifted standard generator at that root.
The scheme point associated to a root of unity evaluates scalar multiples of the lifted standard generator by scalar multiplication of that root.
The scheme-valued roots-of-unity comparison is natural in the value algebra.
The closed inclusion into the multiplicative group scheme #
The quotient Multiplicative Z -> Multiplicative (ZMod n), transported between the
same-universe character groups defining G_m and mu_n.
This lifted lattice map is public so later scheme-kernel constructions can reuse the exact coordinate map without reconstructing universe transports from the scheme morphism.

Instances For
The lifted character quotient sends the lift of an integer character to the lift of its residue class.
The lifted character quotient defining mu_n -> G_m is surjective for every n.
The group-scheme morphism mu_n -> G_m induced contravariantly by the lifted quotient
of character groups.

On scheme-valued points, mu_n -> G_m is the established inclusion of roots of unity
into units.
