The prime-field F₄ carrier and its named simple roots #
The short-root carrier over 𝔽₂ has numbered positive and negative simple-root subgroups and a
split weight torus. Their conjugation law in PrimeField.PointsFunctor uses the Cartan-matrix
weights of the Serre generators. Here the positive weight is identified with the corresponding
root of DynkinType.F4.simplyConnectedRootDatum, and the negative weight with its negative.
The resulting equations hold on points over every commutative 𝔽₂-algebra, including nonreduced
ones, and on the corresponding scheme-valued points. They identify the numbering and torus
characters that a pinned-group comparison must preserve.
The carrier and the pinned Chevalley--Demazure group are not identified here.
The root conventions are those of N. Bourbaki, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Chapters 4--6,
Plate VIII; the construction of the carrier follows R. W. Carter, Simple Groups of Lie Type,
§§4.4 and 7.1.
The corresponding integral construction is
TauCeti.Algebra.Lie.F4.ShortRoot.RootDatum.
The weight-torus character of a positive numbered simple-root subgroup of the prime-field
carrier is the matching simple root of the simply connected type-F₄ datum.
The weight-torus character of a negative numbered simple-root subgroup of the prime-field
carrier is the negative of the matching simple root of the simply connected type-F₄ datum.
Conjugation by the weight torus rescales a positive numbered simple-root subgroup by the
matching root of the simply connected F₄ datum, on scheme-valued points.
Conjugation by the weight torus rescales a negative numbered simple-root subgroup by the
negative of the matching root of the simply connected F₄ datum, on scheme-valued points.
