Matrix coordinates of the parametrized Kostant root subgroups #
The root subgroup map x_α with its parameter read in the value ring, kostantRootSubgroupParam,
takes values in the automorphisms of a scalar extension A ⊗[ℤ] M. A finite basis
b : Basis η ℤ M turns those automorphisms into invertible matrices, and
kostantRootSubgroupMatrix is the resulting matrix-valued root subgroup. This file compares the
two: in the coordinates of b.baseChange A, a parametrized root-subgroup element is exactly its
represented root-subgroup matrix.
The comparison involves neither the represented GLₙ presentation nor any group scheme, so it is
stated for an arbitrary finite basis index and lives below the scheme layer.
