Base change of the standard special-linear pinning #
The standard pinning of SL_{r+1} is compatible with scalar extension between
nontrivial commutative rings with connected spectra. Bourbaki numbering identifies
its simple roots over both rings. The equivalence below identifies the scalar-extended
simple root spaces with the new simple root spaces and preserves their chosen generators.
Its ambient equation uses the geometric cotangent-dual base-change comparison, so it
certifies compatibility of the chosen trivializations, not just abstract rank-one freeness.
The other pinning data already commute with base change:
SpecialLinear.splitMaximalTorus_baseChange_comapOfIso treats the parametrized torus,
and SpecialLinear.UpperTriangular.map_baseChangeHopfIdeal_definingHopfIdeal treats
its Borel. The computation rules standardPinning_torus and standardPinning_borel
identify those data in the assembled pinning. Together these results identify the
integral pinning after extension to any nontrivial ring with connected spectrum.

Instances For
The simple-root base-change equivalence preserves the chosen scalar coordinates.
The inverse simple-root comparison expresses a chosen vector over K as
its scalar coordinate times the chosen generator over R.
Forgetting the root-space restrictions identifies the base-change equivalence with the geometric scalar extension of the ambient Lie algebra.
The entire scalar-extended simple root space maps into the corresponding simple root space by the ambient geometric comparison.
Scalar extension preserves the normalized simple-root generators of the standard pinning. The rule runs before simplification of the dependent cotangent presentations.
