The type A carrier is pinned by its named root datum #
TauCeti.SlStd.groupScheme is the full-weight Chevalley carrier of type A_r: the closed subgroup
scheme of GL_{r+1} over ℤ generated by the divided-power exponential root subgroups of the
Bourbaki-numbered Chevalley generators of sl_{r+1} together with the weight torus of the standard
lattice. Its pinning data — the numbered root subgroups and the split torus — are so far described
by the rows of CartanMatrix.A r, which is a table rather than a root datum.
This file replaces that table by the pinned datum itself. TauCeti.typeASimplyConnectedRootDatum r
is the simply connected root datum of type A_r, written on the character and cocharacter lattices
Fin r → ℤ, which are the lattices the carrier's split torus SplitTorus.groupScheme ℤ (Fin r) is
built on. The results below say that the root of the i-th numbered raising subgroup is the
i-th simple root of that datum, that the lowering subgroup sits at its negative, and that the
pinning equation
t(s) x_i(u) t(s)⁻¹ = α_i(s) u is therefore an equation about the named simple root rather than
about a matrix entry. The same statements are given against
TauCeti.DynkinType.simplyConnectedRootDatum, the uniform dispatcher a consumer reaches through a
Dynkin type; the two differ only in how the datum is named, and the dispatcher form carries the
validity hypothesis that naming it needs.
The last result is about the graph automorphism. TauCeti.SlStd.graphAutomorphism permutes the
numbered root subgroups by TauCeti.SlStd.graphRootPerm, the reversal on each of the raising and
lowering families, while TauCeti.typeAGraphAut r is the automorphism of the pinned datum that
reverses the fundamental-weight coordinates. TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight_graphRootPerm says
these two agree: the subgroup the carrier's graph automorphism moves x_k to is the one whose root
is the image of the root of x_k under the datum's graph automorphism. That is what makes the
carrier automorphism the one attached to the diagram symmetry, rather than an unrelated
automorphism that happens to reverse an index.
Nothing here asserts that the carrier is reductive, that its torus is maximal, or that it is isomorphic to the special linear group scheme, and no group below is claimed to be finite or simple.

This advances the "Pinnings" and "Root subgroup maps" targets of Layer 9 of
TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md, the second of which asks for "the equations pinning
them against the pinning" and adds that downstream work states its conventions against those
equations, so that they are part of the interface. Nothing below is the separate "isomorphism
theorem for pinned groups", which asserts a uniqueness this file does not prove.
Its consumer is milestone L0 of TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md, which
requires each carrier to be traceable to DynkinType.simplyConnectedRootDatum reached through
ValidLieTypeIndex.dynkinType, and milestone L1, whose graph-twisted branches take γ to be the
automorphism attached to the numbered diagram permutation.
The numbered root subgroups sit at the pinned simple roots #
None of the identifications below is a simp lemma. Both sides are already simp-normal: the
carrier's TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight_inl and the datum's
TauCeti.root_typeASimpleIndex both rewrite to entries of CartanMatrix.A r, and orienting the
identification either way would undo one of them.
The i-th numbered raising subgroup sits at the i-th pinned simple root. The root
character by which the split torus of the type A_r carrier rescales the parameter of the raising
subgroup at i is the i-th simple root of TauCeti.typeASimplyConnectedRootDatum r.
The i-th numbered lowering subgroup sits at the negative of the i-th pinned simple
root.
The i-th numbered raising subgroup sits at the i-th simple root of the pinned datum of
its Dynkin type. This is the form in which the milestone that builds ambient groups from a Dynkin
type reads the pinning; TauCeti.SlStd.rootGeneratorWeight_inl_eq_root_typeASimpleIndex is the
same statement with the datum named directly, and needs no validity hypothesis.
The i-th numbered lowering subgroup sits at the negative of the i-th simple root of the
pinned datum of its Dynkin type.
The pinning equation against the named simple roots #
The pinning equation of the type A_r carrier, at a named simple root. A split-torus point
s conjugates the raising subgroup element of parameter u at the numbered index i into the one
of parameter α_i(s) u, where α_i is the i-th simple root of the pinned simply connected root
datum of the Dynkin type A r.
The pinning equation of the type A_r carrier, at the negative of a named simple root.
The graph automorphism realizes the one of the pinned datum #
The carrier's graph automorphism realizes the graph automorphism of its pinned root datum.
The numbered subgroup that TauCeti.SlStd.graphAutomorphism moves x_k to is the one whose root is
the image, under TauCeti.typeAGraphAut, of the root of x_k.
Together with TauCeti.SlStd.rootSubgroup_comp_graphAutomorphism_hom, which says the automorphism
carries x_k to x_{γ k} without touching its parameter, this is the equation
γ (x_α(t)) = x_{γ α}(t) on the numbered simple root subgroups.
