Multiply-laced Chevalley relations for represented Kostant root subgroups #
For roots α and β whose positive rank-two root string contains both α + β and 2α + β,
this file proves, under the displayed bracket and nilpotence hypotheses, the conditional relation
⁅x_α(t), x_β(u)⁆ = x_{α+β}(c t u) x_{2α+β}(d t² u).
Commutator.lean proves the underlying multiplication and conjugation identities for the
divided-power actions. This file derives the canonical element-commutator form and transports it
through an arbitrary finite integral basis to the represented general linear group. The
scheme-valued form is in RootSubgroup/Scheme/MultiplyLacedRelations.lean.
The extra hypothesis that the β root vector commutes with the 2α + β root vector is exactly
what removes the conjugated β factor from the element commutator. It holds for the indicated root
string because 2α + 2β is not a root.

The multiply-laced Chevalley commutator relation for Kostant root-subgroup actions.
Suppose the distinguished root vectors form the chain β, α + β, 2α + β, with the
first and second iterated brackets scaled by c and 2 * d. If p and q have parameters
c t u and d t² u, then ⁅xᵢ(t), xⱼ(u)⁆ = xₖ(p) xₗ(q).
