Numbered symmetries of a Kostant elementary group #
Let U_ℤ = kostantForm e h act on a rational representation V preserving an additive subgroup
M ≤ V, so that the divided-power exponentials of the distinguished root vectors eᵢ generate the
elementary group E(A) ≤ Aut_A(A ⊗[ℤ] M) of
TauCeti.Algebra.Lie.UniversalEnveloping.Kostant.RootSubgroup.Elementary.Basic.
A symmetry of the numbered data is a surjective self-map σ of the index set together with a
ℚ-linear automorphism θ of V that preserves M and carries the action of eᵢ to the action
of e_{σ i}. Conjugating by the scalar extension of θ is then an automorphism of E(A) which
sends each root subgroup to the one indexed by σ without touching its parameters:
γ (xᵢ(t)) = x_{σ i}(t).
These include the equations that a graph automorphism of a Chevalley group is pinned by, restricted
to the simple root subgroups, when the numbered symmetry comes from a Dynkin-diagram symmetry.
Here γ is defined from a symmetry of the underlying data rather than obtained from the
isomorphism theorem for pinned groups, and no uniqueness statement is claimed. Two further
properties are what a Steinberg endomorphism built from γ needs. The
automorphism commutes with every base change of the value ring, hence in particular with the
q-power Frobenius endomorphism of E(A); and if θ ^ n = 1 then γ ^ n = 1, so an involution
or a triality of the numbered data produces a γ with γ ^ 2 = 1 or γ ^ 3 = 1.
Nothing here assumes that σ is induced by a symmetry of a Dynkin diagram, nor that θ is unique:
both are supplied by the caller as data, and the intertwining hypothesis is the whole input.

The pinning equation #
Conjugation by the scalar extension of θ carries the root subgroup at i to the root
subgroup at σ i, leaving the parameter untouched.
This is the multiplicative form of the pinning equation; the conjugated form is

The automorphism of the elementary group #
Conjugation by the scalar extension of θ preserves the elementary group.
Both inclusions come from the pinning equation: the generators at i go to the generators at
σ i, and every generator is hit because σ is surjective.

Instances For
The numbered symmetry acts by conjugation inside the ambient automorphism group.
The numbered symmetry sends the root subgroup at i to the one at σ i, leaving parameters
untouched.
A numbered symmetry of order n produces an automorphism of order dividing n.
This is what makes the order relations γ ^ 2 = 1 and γ ^ 3 = 1 available for the graph-twisted
families, where θ realizes an involution or a triality of the numbered data.
Compatibility with base change and Frobenius #
The numbered symmetry commutes with base change of the value ring.
The scalar extension of θ is defined over ℤ, so extending scalars along φ leaves it
unchanged, and conjugation by it is therefore natural.
The numbered symmetry commutes with the p ^ n-power Frobenius endomorphism.
Together with the pinning equation and the order relation, this is the compatibility a Steinberg
endomorphism of the form γ ∘ Frob_q is built from.
