The diagonal torus of the special linear group #
The determinant-one diagonal matrices of SL_{r+1} form a split torus of rank r. This file
parametrizes it in fundamental-weight coordinates: a point s = (s₀, …, s_{r-1}) of the split
torus goes to
diag(s₀, s₁ s₀⁻¹, …, s_{r-1} s_{r-2}⁻¹, s_{r-1}⁻¹),
whose k-th entry is the value of the standard weight ε_k of sl_{r+1}, written in the basis
of fundamental weights as TauCeti.SlStd.weight r k. These are the coordinates of the pinned
simply connected root datum of type A_r, in which the simple roots are the rows of the Cartan
matrix.
The coordinate morphism O(SL_{r+1}) ⟶ R[X*(T)] is obtained by factoring the general-linear
weight torus TauCeti.GeneralLinear.weightTorusCoordinateMap through the determinant-one quotient:
the standard weights sum to zero, so the generic determinant restricts to one. Since the standard
weights span the character lattice, the coordinate morphism is surjective over every commutative
base ring; contravariantly, the torus is a closed subgroup of SL_{r+1}.

A split-torus character of a standard weight, read in the original torus coordinates.
The coordinate morphism of the diagonal torus of SL_{r+1}. It restricts functions on
SL_{r+1} to the rank-r split torus embedded through the standard weights. Its direction is
opposite to the represented group-scheme morphism.
