The group scheme generated by Kostant root subgroups #
Fix a finite free Kostant-stable lattice with basis b. Every distinguished nilpotent root vector
gives a represented root-subgroup morphism xᵢ : 𝔾ₐ ⟶ GLₙ. This file constructs the
smallest closed subgroup scheme of GLₙ containing all of those morphisms.
On coordinate Hopf algebras, its defining ideal is the largest Hopf ideal contained in the kernel
of every root-subgroup coordinate map. Quotienting by that ideal therefore gives an explicit
affine group scheme, and every xᵢ factors through it. The universal property proves minimality
among closed subgroup schemes of GLₙ presented by Hopf-ideal quotients.
This is the scheme-level counterpart of kostantElementarySubgroup, the subgroup generated on
points. Identifying its points over an algebraically closed field with that elementary subgroup is
a later theorem and is not asserted here.

Chevalley--Demazure construction; see J. E. Humphreys, Linear Algebraic Groups, §26, and
R. W. Carter, Simple Groups of Lie Type, §4.4. It advances Layer 9, "pinned
Chevalley--Demazure group schemes over ℤ", of TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md and
supplies the explicit ambient carrier required by milestone L0 of the CFSGStatement roadmap.
The defining Hopf ideal of the closed subgroup scheme generated by all represented Kostant root subgroups. It is the largest Hopf ideal killed by every root-subgroup coordinate map.

Instances For
The defining ideal of the generated group scheme is the common-kernel Hopf ideal of its root subgroup coordinate maps.
A Hopf ideal is contained in the defining ideal of the generated group scheme exactly when every Kostant root-subgroup coordinate map kills it. This is the coordinate form of minimality.
Every root-subgroup coordinate map kills the defining ideal of the generated group scheme.

Instances For
Composing the quotient morphism with the ith generated coordinate map recovers the ith
root-subgroup coordinate map. This characterizes the generated coordinate map.
If a root-subgroup coordinate map is surjective before factorization through the generated coordinate ring, then the factored coordinate map is also surjective.

The factored root subgroup is relative spectrum applied to its quotient coordinate map,
transported across the named presentation of 𝔾ₐ.
Factoring a root subgroup through the generated group scheme and then including into GLₙ
recovers the original represented root-subgroup morphism.
