Connectedness of the subgroup generated by the tripled type-D₄ roots and torus #
Over a commutative ring, the eight numbered root subgroups and the rank-four weight torus of the
tripled type-D₄ carrier define a closed subgroup of GL₂₄ by a common-kernel quotient of its
coordinate Hopf algebra. Over an algebraically closed field, this subgroup is connected. The
base-changed integral carrier contains it; equality of the two closed subgroups is a separate
question.
Connectedness is one geometric input to identifying this explicit generated group with a pinned split reductive group, alongside the comparison with the integral carrier.
