Complete reducibility of the doubled minuscule E₆ representation #
Over every field, the standard representation of the doubled minuscule carrier is completely reducible. Its fifty-four distinct torus characters separate the coordinate lines. Positive and negative simple-root elements connect the twenty-seven lines in each of the two minuscule blocks. Thus a subcomodule contains either all or none of the lines in each block, and the remaining blocks give a complementary subcomodule. This supplies the representation-theoretic input for eliminating normal smooth unipotent subgroups through faithfulness.
The argument uses the scheme-theoretic torus coaction, so it also applies over finite fields,
where the rational torus points need not separate weights. The dual block's root coefficients
are -1, which remain invertible in every characteristic.
