The elementary group generated by Kostant root subgroups #
Let U_ℤ = kostantForm e h be a Kostant integral form acting on a rational representation V and
preserving an additive subgroup M ≤ V, and suppose every distinguished root vector eᵢ acts
nilpotently. Over a commutative ring A the divided-power exponentials of the eᵢ are
automorphisms of A ⊗[ℤ] M, and the subgroup they generate,
E(A) = ⟨xᵢ(t) : i, t ∈ A⟩ ≤ Aut_A(A ⊗[ℤ] M),
is the subgroup generated by the Kostant root subgroups. When e and M arise from a Chevalley
system and a finite free admissible lattice, this is the elementary Chevalley group constructed in
Carter, Simple Groups of Lie Type, §4.4. A later identification theorem, under its additional
hypotheses (including an algebraically closed value field), may identify it with all points of the
Chevalley--Demazure group scheme; no such identification is claimed here.
The results here are the functoriality of E in the value ring and the endomorphism a ring
endomorphism induces on it. Naturality of the divided-power exponential upgrades to the statement
that the bundled scalar extension of automorphisms carries xᵢ(t) to xᵢ(φ t), so E is a
subfunctor of GeneralLinear.scalarExtensionAutomorphismsFunctor. Specializing to the p ^ n-power
Frobenius of a value ring of exponential characteristic p gives the endomorphism a Steinberg map
is built from; it is injective as soon as the value ring is reduced.

The parametrized root subgroup map is the root subgroup on 𝔾ₐ-points, read through the
identification of those points with the value ring.
The parametrized root-subgroup element acts through the corresponding base-changed divided-power exponential.
Scalar extension of automorphisms along a morphism of value rings carries the root-subgroup
element with parameter t to the one with parameter φ t.
This is the bundled form of the naturality statement map_kostantRootSubgroupPoints_algHom: the

Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
The Frobenius endomorphism of the elementary group is induced by the Frobenius endomorphism of the value ring.
The Frobenius endomorphism raises the parameter of a root-subgroup element to the
p ^ n-th power.
The zeroth Frobenius iterate is the identity.
Frobenius iterates add under composition.
Iterating the p ^ n-power Frobenius k times gives the p ^ (n * k)-power Frobenius.
The Frobenius endomorphism of the elementary group commutes with base change of the value ring,
because a ring homomorphism preserves p ^ n-th powers.
The Frobenius endomorphism of the elementary group is injective over a reduced value ring.
The lattice M sits inside a rational vector space, hence is flat over ℤ, so an injective
endomorphism of the value ring stays injective after tensoring with M; an automorphism of a
scalar extension is determined by its values on the canonical copy of M.
