The diagonal torus as a closed subgroup of the special linear group #
Over every commutative ring, the diagonal torus of SL_{r+1} is cut out by the Hopf ideal of
functions whose restriction to the torus vanishes, the kernel of the surjective coordinate
morphism TauCeti.SpecialLinear.diagonalTorusCoordinateMap. The quotient by this ideal is the
Laurent coordinate Hopf algebra of the rank-r split torus, and the ideal is compatible with
scalar extension. These constructions make the diagonal torus available as a closed subgroup
when studying maximal tori.
