The solvable radical of an affine group #
Let H be the coordinate Hopf algebra of a finite-type affine group over a field. A connected
normal smooth solvable closed subgroup is represented contravariantly by a normal Hopf ideal I
whose quotient H/I is geometrically connected, smooth, and has a solvable group of geometric
points. The maximal-dimension construction and product closure show that one such ideal is
contained in every other one. This file chooses that unique ideal and packages its quotient as the
solvable radical of H.
The order on Hopf ideals reverses inclusion of represented closed subgroups. Thus
solvableRadicalDefiningIdeal_le says precisely that every connected normal smooth solvable
closed subgroup lies in the solvable radical. The chosen ideal is canonical because this
universal property determines it uniquely.

The Hopf ideal cutting out the solvable radical of a finite-type affine group.
It is the unique solvable-radical candidate contained in every other candidate. Since Hopf-ideal order reverses closed-subgroup inclusion, its represented subgroup is the greatest connected normal smooth solvable closed subgroup.

The defining ideal of the solvable radical cuts out a connected normal smooth solvable closed subgroup.
Every connected normal smooth solvable closed subgroup is contained in the solvable radical.
Contravariantly, this says that the radical's defining Hopf ideal is contained in the ideal cutting out the given subgroup.
A Hopf ideal is the defining ideal of the solvable radical exactly when it is a candidate contained in every other candidate. This is the choice-free universal property of the radical.
The solvable radical is trivial exactly when every solvable-radical candidate is the identity subgroup.
The solvable radical contains the unipotent radical. In coordinate rings, this inclusion is the reverse inequality between their defining Hopf ideals.
