Rigidity of the toral Kostant carrier #
The toral Kostant carrier is the smallest closed subgroup scheme of GLₙ containing both the
represented root subgroups and the represented weight torus. Consequently, a homomorphism out of
that carrier is determined by its restrictions to those generators.
This file proves that statement first on coordinate Hopf algebras and then for affine group
schemes. It complements
TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantGeneratedGroupScheme_hom_ext, which applies to the
carrier generated by root subgroups alone. For the toral carrier, agreement on the root subgroups
does not by itself account for the adjoined torus, so in general the torus restriction is an
essential second hypothesis.
A variant gives the equivalent interface in which agreement on all root subgroups is replaced by agreement on the closed immersion of the root-generated carrier. This is the form used when an endomorphism has already been constructed on the root-generated part. When that closed immersion is an isomorphism, the torus hypothesis can be dropped altogether.
Main results #
TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantToralCoordinate_hom_ext: coordinate morphisms into the toral quotient are determined by every root coordinate and the weight-torus coordinate.TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantToralGroupScheme_hom_ext: group-scheme morphisms out of the toral carrier are determined by every root subgroup and the weight torus.TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantToralGroupScheme_hom_ext_of_generated: it is enough to agree on the root-generated carrier and the weight torus.kostantToralGroupScheme_hom_ext_of_isIso_kostantGeneratedToToral: when the root-generated carrier is the whole toral carrier, agreement on the root subgroups suffices.
Roadmap #
This is the uniqueness step for the explicit carrier in Layer 9, “the isomorphism theorem for
pinned groups”, of TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md. The full pinned isomorphism theorem
must additionally construct the morphism from a root-datum isomorphism and reduce its determining
data to the pinned simple root subgroups. Milestone L1 of
TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md consumes that theorem to turn a Dynkin-diagram symmetry
into the graph automorphism in a Steinberg endomorphism.

Coordinate rigidity of the toral carrier. Two morphisms of commutative Hopf algebras into the coordinate algebra of the toral Kostant carrier are equal when they agree after composition with every root-subgroup coordinate and with the weight-torus coordinate.
Contravariantly, a homomorphism out of the closed group scheme generated by the root subgroups and the torus is determined on those generators.
Rigidity of the toral Kostant group scheme. Two homomorphisms out of the toral carrier are equal when they agree on every represented root subgroup and on the represented weight torus.
This is the scheme-theoretic form of kostantToralCoordinate_hom_ext.
It is enough to compare homomorphisms out of the toral carrier on the root-generated closed
subgroup scheme and on the weight torus. This packages all root-subgroup hypotheses of
kostantToralGroupScheme_hom_ext through kostantGeneratedToToral.
If the canonical comparison from the root-generated carrier is an isomorphism, then two
homomorphisms out of the toral carrier are equal as soon as they agree on every represented root
subgroup; the weight-torus hypothesis of kostantToralGroupScheme_hom_ext becomes redundant.
