The full-weight Chevalley carrier of type A #
Fix r and let sl_{r+1} act on the standard module Fin (r+1) → ℚ. This file feeds that
representation, its coordinate ℤ-lattice and the Bourbaki-numbered Chevalley generators
e_i = E_{i,i+1}, f_i = E_{i+1,i}, h_i = E_{i,i} - E_{i+1,i+1}
into the Kostant toral-closure construction, and so produces an explicit affine group scheme over
ℤ for every rank: TauCeti.SlStd.groupScheme, the smallest closed subgroup scheme of GL_{r+1}
containing the divided-power exponential root subgroups of those generators together with the
weight torus of the standard lattice.
What distinguishes the standard module from the adjoint one is its weights. The Cartan generator
h_i acts on the coordinate vector at k by δ_{k,i} - δ_{k,i+1}, so the weights are the ε_k,
and TauCeti.SlStd.span_range_weight_eq_top says they generate the whole character lattice
Fin r → ℤ of the rank-r split torus, whose cocharacter lattice is spanned by the simple
coroots. That character lattice is the weight lattice P of type A_r, whereas the weights of the
adjoint module generate only the root lattice Q, of index r + 1 in it. Consequently the split
torus of rank r is a closed subgroup of the carrier built here
(TauCeti.SlStd.isClosedImmersion_weightTorus), which is the property the pinned simply connected
Chevalley--Demazure group of type A_r is asked for and which the adjoint carrier does not have.
The whole ambient Lie algebra used is Mathlib's LieAlgebra.SpecialLinear.sl, and the Kostant form
depends only on the numbered generators above, so every carrier below traces back to explicit
matrices; no existence or classification theorem is invoked anywhere.
Three things are deliberately not asserted. The carrier is not proved reductive, its torus is not proved maximal, and it is not identified with the special linear group scheme; each needs the generation and root-datum statements that Layer 9 of the reductive-groups roadmap still owes. Nor is any group here claimed to be finite or simple.

A numbered root generator moves between two distinct coordinates.
The two coordinates of a numbered root generator are adjacent, so their indices have odd sum.
The pinned Chevalley generators #
The Bourbaki-numbered Cartan generators of sl_{r+1}: the diagonal matrix
E_{i,i} - E_{i+1,i+1}.
Equations
Instances For
The numbered Chevalley generators at a Bourbaki node form an sl₂ triple in sl_{r+1}:
they are the matrix units E_{i, i+1}, E_{i+1, i} and the diagonal difference
E_{i,i} - E_{i+1,i+1}.
The standard representation #
The standard representation of sl_{r+1} on coordinate vectors, extended to the universal
enveloping algebra.

Instances For
A numbered root generator reads off one coordinate and writes it into another.
A numbered root generator sends the coordinate vector at its source to the one at its target.
Applying a numbered root generator twice to a vector gives zero: it writes into a coordinate it does not read from.
Every numbered root generator squares to zero in the standard representation.
Every numbered root generator acts nilpotently.
Every numbered root generator has nilpotency class exactly two in the standard representation.
Weights and roots #
The integral weight of the k-th standard coordinate vector on the numbered Cartan
generators. These are the weights ε₀, …, ε_r of the standard module, written in the basis of
fundamental weights.
Equations
Instances For
The weights of the standard representation of sl_{r+1} are pairwise distinct.
The root of a numbered raising or lowering generator, as an integral character of the
numbered Cartan generators: the i-th row of the type A Cartan matrix on a raising generator
and its negative on a lowering one.
Equations
- TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight r (Sum.inl i) = fun (j : Fin r) => CartanMatrix.A r i j
- TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight r (Sum.inr i) = fun (j : Fin r) => -CartanMatrix.A r i j
Instances For
Every standard coordinate vector is a Cartan weight vector, of the weight recorded by
TauCeti.SlStd.weight.
The numbered Cartan generators act on the numbered root generators through the type A
Cartan matrix. This is the relation that makes the split torus of the carrier below act on the
root subgroup at k through the character TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight r k.
The standard admissible lattice #
The standard ℤ-lattice of the standard sl_{r+1}-module, spanned by the coordinate
vectors.

Stability of the lattice under the Kostant form #
The standard lattice is an admissible lattice: the Kostant ℤ-form presented by the
numbered Chevalley generators preserves it. The root generators square to zero on the standard
module and preserve the lattice, and the coordinate vectors are weight vectors with integer
weights.
The weights generate the full character lattice #
The weights of the standard module generate the full character lattice. This is the
property that separates the standard module from the adjoint one, whose weights are the roots and
generate the root lattice, of index r + 1. It is what makes the rank-r split torus a closed
subgroup of the carrier assembled below.
The pinned carrier of type A_r #
Every coordinate basis vector of the standard lattice is a Cartan weight vector.
The Hopf ideal cutting the type A_r carrier out of the coordinate Hopf algebra of
GL_{r+1} over ℤ.
Like TauCeti.SlStd.groupScheme below, and like the generic
TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantToralGroupScheme it is cut out of, this is an
abbrev: the descent arguments of
TauCeti/Algebra/Lie/SpecialLinear/StandardCarrier/GraphAutomorphism.lean feed it straight into
the generic Kostant comap lemmas and the generic toral coordinate maps, which are stated for the
ideal it names. Consumers that only need to know which ideal this is should rewrite with
TauCeti.SlStd.definingIdeal_def rather than unfold it.

A split-torus point is the diagonal matrix whose entries are its values on the standard-module weights.
A matrix is a point of the type A_r carrier exactly when the associated convolution point
kills its toral defining Hopf ideal.
The pinning #
A numbered root generator sends its source lattice vector to its target lattice vector and annihilates every other lattice basis vector.
A numbered root generator carries the coordinate basis vector at its source to the one at its
target. This is the root step that makes the root subgroup a closed copy of 𝔾ₐ.
The coordinate morphism of every numbered root subgroup of the type A_r carrier is
surjective.
Every numbered root subgroup of the type A_r carrier is a closed immersion.
The split torus of the type A_r carrier is a closed immersion. This is exactly where the
full-weight property is used: the weights of the standard module generate the whole character
lattice, so the rank-r split torus embeds rather than mapping onto a proper quotient.

k-th row of the type A_r Cartan matrix on a raising generator and its negative on a lowering
one.
