Integral points of the type A full-weight carrier #

This file identifies the integral matrix points of the full-weight type A_r carrier with the image of SL_{r+1}(ℤ). It applies the ring-general carrier generation theorem to the existing generation of the integral special linear group by transvections.

Main results #

This advances Layer 9, "The Chevalley--Demazure construction", of TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md: it records the integral-points consequence of the ring-general generation statement for the explicit full-weight type A carrier.

Over the integers, the matrix points of the full-weight type A_r carrier are exactly the range of the canonical inclusion of SL_{r+1} into GL_{r+1}.

Over the integers, a general linear matrix is a point of the full-weight type A_r carrier if and only if its determinant is one.
