Tangent equations of symplectic weight-parabolic intersections #
Intersecting the symplectic group with a general-linear weight parabolic cuts out the filtration-preserving symplectic tangent matrices. The equations are stated in paired coordinates, so the same criterion can be used for self-dual flag orders rather than mistakenly imposing upper triangularity in the original paired basis order.
On coordinate rings the intersection is the image of the general-linear parabolic's
Hopf ideal under the symplectic quotient map. The calculation uses
HopfIdeal.lieSubalgebra_map and the general-linear weight-parabolic tangent criterion.
It requires neither smoothness of the intersection nor a reduced coefficient ring.
These tangent equations determine containment of adjoint root spaces in flag stabilizers.

A symplectic tangent vector belongs to the inverse image of a general-linear weight parabolic precisely when its paired matrix preserves the induced weight filtration. The weights can encode any order, including the complete self-dual flag order.
