Lie ideals as adjoint subrepresentations #
For a connected affine group of finite type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, Lie ideals in its tangent Lie algebra are exactly the subrepresentations of its adjoint representation. The identification preserves the underlying subspace and its order. In particular, it turns the solvable radical of the tangent Lie algebra into an adjoint subrepresentation, an input to the comparison of group and Lie-algebra radicals.
Over an arbitrary commutative ring, an adjoint subcomodule is still a Lie ideal. The converse
uses characteristic zero and connectedness through the equivalence between Lie-stable
subspaces and subcomodules, via
Submodule.coact_mem_range_of_forall_differential_mem.

An adjoint subcomodule is a Lie ideal, without smoothness or characteristic assumptions.
Instances For

Membership in the Lie ideal is membership in the original adjoint subcomodule.
