Tori over a field #
A finite-type affine group over a field is a torus when it becomes a finite-rank split torus
after extending scalars to an algebraic closure. On coordinate Hopf algebras, the rank-n split
torus has coordinate ring
k[Multiplicative (Fin n →₀ ℤ)].
This file records both the split and geometric forms of that definition as object properties on
finite-type commutative Hopf algebras. Keeping them as properties, rather than building them into
the ambient category, leaves finite, non-smooth groups such as μ_p in the general theory.
Every split torus is a torus: after base change, the standard coordinate-ring comparison
identifies K ⊗[k] k[ℤⁿ] with K[ℤⁿ]. Every torus is of multiplicative type, since its
base change is a diagonalizable coordinate Hopf algebra. Thus this definition extends the
existing multiplicative-type theory while imposing the free finite-rank character lattice that
distinguishes tori from general groups of multiplicative type.

This is the coordinate-algebra definition required by Layer 4, "Tori: split and non-split", of
the ReductiveGroups roadmap. Smoothness and geometric connectedness are proved in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Torus.SmoothConnected; the next step is the character lattice
with its Galois action.
The object property selecting finite-type commutative Hopf algebras that are coordinate rings of split tori of finite rank.
The witness n is the rank. The finite index type is universe-lifted so that its character group
lives in the same universe as k; this does not change the represented rank-n torus.
