Kostant-form stability of a coordinate lattice #
A standard Chevalley carrier is built from a rational representation on a coordinate space
ι → ℚ whose coordinate ℤ-lattice is preserved by the Kostant integral form. This file proves
that stability once, from the two properties every such representation supplies: each designated
root operator is square-zero and preserves the coordinate lattice, and each standard coordinate
vector is a Cartan weight vector with integral weights. A root operator that cubes rather than
squares to zero is covered by the second criterion below, where the divided square is the one
further operator whose integrality has to be checked.

Every Cartan binomial operator preserves the coordinate lattice, because the standard coordinate vectors are weight vectors with integral weights.
The coordinate lattice is Kostant-stable when each root operator is nilpotent with a common bound and all divided powers below that bound preserve the lattice.
The coordinate lattice of a standard representation is an admissible lattice. The Kostant
ℤ-form presented by square-zero root operators and Cartan operators with integral coordinate
weights preserves the coordinate ℤ-lattice.
