The full-weight type-C carrier preserves the standard alternating form #
TauCeti.SpStd.groupScheme n is the explicit full-weight Chevalley carrier of type C_(n+1): the
smallest closed subgroup scheme of GL_(2n+2) containing the divided-power exponentials of the
Bourbaki-numbered Chevalley generators of sp_(2n+2) together with the weight torus of the
standard lattice. This file proves that it sits inside the symplectic group scheme
TauCeti.Symplectic.groupScheme, the subgroup scheme of GL_(2n+2) cut out by X J Xᵀ = J.
The proof is the two generator computations the toral-closure construction reduces to. A root
generator squares to zero in the standard representation, so its divided-power exponential is
1 + t X for X the integral matrix TauCeti.SpStd.rootIntMatrix of the generator itself; that
matrix is skew-adjoint for J because the generator lies in Mathlib's LieAlgebra.Symplectic.sp,
and (1 + t X) J (1 + t X)ᵀ = J follows from skew-adjointness together with X ^ 2 = 0. The weight
torus contributes a diagonal matrix whose entries at a coordinate and at its symplectic partner are
inverse characters, because the standard weights come in the pairs ε_a and -ε_a, and a diagonal
matrix preserves J exactly when each such pair multiplies to one.
Only the group-scheme containment is proved here. On points over a field, the reverse inclusion is
TauCeti.SpStd.points_eq_GLSymplecticFin in Generation.lean, which uses the symplectic generation
theorem. Nothing below claims that the carrier is reductive, that its weight torus is maximal, or
that the two group schemes agree; nor does it claim that any group in sight is finite or simple.

The file follows the type-A counterpart
TauCeti/Algebra/Lie/SpecialLinear/StandardCarrier/DeterminantOne.lean, which proves the same
containment for the special linear group; the class-two exponential computation and the symplectic
matrix identities are specific to this file.
This advances Layer 9, "The Chevalley--Demazure construction", of
TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md: the full-weight type C carrier is now proved to lie
in the expected pinned ambient group. Its consumer is milestone L0 of
TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md, which needs a simply connected pinned carrier for the
C_n(q) family.
The integral matrix of a numbered root generator in the enumerated coordinate basis of the standard lattice. Its columns are the coefficients of the images of the basis vectors, which are integral because the generator preserves the lattice.

Instances For
A numbered root generator acts on a coordinate basis vector by the corresponding column of
TauCeti.SpStd.rootIntMatrix.
Extending an entry of TauCeti.SpStd.rootIntMatrix to ℚ recovers the corresponding entry of
the rational matrix of the root generator, at the standard indices enumerated by the coordinate
basis.
TauCeti.SpStd.rootIntMatrix is the reindexed rational matrix of the root generator.

The symplectic relations belong to the defining Hopf ideal of the full-weight type

Equations
Instances For
The canonical morphism from the type C_(n+1) carrier to Sp_(2n+2) is a closed
immersion.
Including the type C_(n+1) carrier into Sp_(2n+2) and then into GL_(2n+2) recovers its
original ambient closed immersion.
