Conjugation of maximal tori #
Conjugation by a rational point is an automorphism of the ambient affine group, so it preserves maximal tori. This file records that invariance for the Hopf-ideal definition of a maximal torus.
This invariance is the half of a conjugacy statement for maximal tori that does not depend on the existence of a conjugating rational point. Generic consequences of a theorem conjugating diagonalizable subgroups into a distinguished maximal torus are also collected here, so concrete matrix groups only need to supply that group-specific input.

The conjugate of a maximal torus by a rational point is a maximal torus.
Maximal-torus status is invariant under conjugation by a rational point.
This is not a simp lemma: isMaximalTorus_iff unfolds IsMaximalTorus on the left-hand
side, so the statement is never in simp-normal form.
A split maximal torus is conjugate to a distinguished maximal torus, provided it can be conjugated into the distinguished torus.
Any two split maximal tori are conjugate when diagonalizable subgroups can be conjugated into a distinguished maximal torus.
Over an algebraically closed field, the maximal tori are exactly the conjugates of a distinguished maximal torus when diagonalizable subgroups can be conjugated into it.
