Maximal tori in Hopf coordinates #
A closed subgroup of an affine group is encoded contravariantly by a Hopf ideal in its
coordinate algebra. This file defines a maximal torus to be a torus closed subgroup which is
not properly contained in another torus. Thus, if I is maximal and J ≤ I defines a torus,
then I = J.

A Hopf ideal defines a maximal torus when its quotient coordinate Hopf algebra is a torus and every torus closed subgroup containing it is equal to it.
Because coordinate rings reverse arrows, J ≤ I says that the subgroup cut out by I is
contained in the subgroup cut out by J.

Instances For
The Hopf-ideal criterion for a maximal torus: the quotient is a torus and no strictly larger torus closed subgroup contains it.
Pulling a maximal torus back across an ambient Hopf-algebra isomorphism gives a maximal torus in the source.
Maximal-torus status is invariant under pulling the defining ideal back across an ambient Hopf-algebra isomorphism.
Maximality of a torus descends from an algebraic closure. If I cuts out a torus over
k and its base change, transported along an isomorphism e of the base-changed ambient
coordinate Hopf algebra, is a maximal torus over the algebraic closure, then I is a maximal
torus over k.
