The standard complete isotropic flag subgroup of the symplectic group #
In paired coordinates e₀, …, eₘ₋₁, f₀, …, fₘ₋₁, the standard complete isotropic flag
is spanned successively by e₀, by e₀, e₁, and so on. Its self-dual completion orders
the full basis as e₀, …, eₘ₋₁, fₘ₋₁, …, f₀. This file constructs the finite-type
closed subgroup of Sp₂ₘ whose matrices are upper triangular in this order. In the
original paired order these matrices have upper-triangular upper-left block,
lower-triangular lower-right block, and zero lower-left block.
The quotient Hopf algebra represents these matrices over every commutative algebra,
including nonreduced algebras and characteristic two. Its algebra-valued point groups
are solvable. The diagonal symplectic torus factorization is developed in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Symplectic.IsotropicFlag.DiagonalTorus.
These constructions provide the flag subgroup used in the standard symplectic pinning;
no smoothness, connectedness, or Borel maximality assertion is made here.
The construction uses GeneralLinear.weightParabolicDefiningHopfIdeal; the quotient
points arguments follow
