The type C carrier over a field #
The full-weight type C_(n+1) Kostant carrier is constructed over ℤ as the closed subgroup of
GL_(2n+2) generated by the numbered root subgroups and its weight torus. After extension to a
field, its matrix points are already known to be exactly the matrices preserving the standard
alternating form. This file upgrades that pointwise statement to an equality of defining Hopf
ideals over every field:
baseChangeDefiningIdeal n k = Symplectic.definingHopfIdeal k (n + 1).
The resulting quotient isomorphism identifies the base-changed explicit carrier with the coordinate
Hopf algebra of Sp_(2n+2). It is also promoted to an isomorphism from the scheme-theoretic base
change of the integral carrier to the symplectic group scheme. The isomorphism commutes with the
closed immersions into GL_(2n+2), and its action on algebra-valued points preserves the underlying
matrix. This ambient-matrix compatibility prepares the later comparison of the already constructed
integral pinning with the pinned symplectic group, rather than merely matching abstract groups of
field-valued points.
Only the equality of ideals needs a field: the containment of the symplectic ideal in the transported carrier ideal, equivalently the statement that every carrier point preserves the standard alternating form, holds over every commutative ring.

The symplectic ideal is contained in the transported defining ideal of the full-weight
type C_(n+1) carrier over every commutative ring. Equivalently, every point of the transported
carrier preserves the standard alternating form.
Over a field, the transported defining ideal of the full-weight
type C_(n+1) carrier is the symplectic ideal. Thus the explicit carrier obtained from the
Kostant construction is scheme-theoretically Sp_(2n+2), not merely equal to it on field-valued
points.
Over a field, the coordinate Hopf algebra of the base-changed
full-weight type C_(n+1) carrier is canonically the coordinate Hopf algebra of Sp_(2n+2).
Instances For
The carrier--symplectic coordinate isomorphism is compatible with their quotient maps from
O(GL_(2n+2)/k).
The inverse carrier--symplectic coordinate isomorphism carries the symplectic quotient map to the transported carrier quotient map.
The pinned carrier after base change #
The base-changed full-weight type-C_(n+1) Chevalley carrier is the symplectic group
scheme.
It canonically identifies the scheme-theoretic base change of the integral Kostant carrier with
Sp_(2n+2)/k. The following theorem records compatibility with their ambient closed immersions.
