Diagonal split-torus representations and the Kostant weight torus #
A basis b of an integral module together with weights wt gives a diagonal representation of
the split torus 𝔾ₘ^κ: a point s : κ → Aˣ scales the basis vector b x by the value
∏ⱼ sⱼ ^ wt x j of its weight character. This file packages that representation as a morphism of
affine group schemes over ℤ,
𝔾ₘ^κ ⟶ GLₙ,
by reading the weights as characters of the split torus and taking the associated diagonal
representation. When b and wt are the weight data used by
TauCeti.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.kostantTorusPoints, the two descriptions agree on points of
every value ring, so all the pinning equations proved for that point action — in particular
kostantTorusPoints_conj_kostantRootSubgroupParam, the conjugation formula
t(s) xᵢ(u) t(s)⁻¹ = xᵢ(α(s) u) — are statements about this morphism.
When the weights span the lattice of exponent vectors the representation is faithful, and the
source torus is then represented as a closed subgroup scheme of GLₙ. Identifying this closed
subgroup with a maximal torus of a Chevalley group requires the appropriate Kostant lattice,
Cartan weights, and ambient-group construction; those hypotheses are not part of the declarations
in this file.
Integral PBW must still supply the finite free admissible lattices used by the Chevalley--Demazure construction; the results here apply once such a lattice and weight basis are given. The representation carrier is universe-zero because the group-scheme reconstruction API requires the base, coordinate Hopf algebra, and comodule to inhabit the same universe.

Instances For
The weight-torus representation is the general diagonalizable-group representation specialized to the character lattice of a split torus.
A weight basis whose weights span the lattice of exponent vectors presents the split torus
as a closed subgroup of GLₙ.
The split torus represented by a weight basis with spanning weights, as a closed subgroup
scheme of GLₙ. This does not assert maximality in an ambient reductive group.
Equations
Instances For
The underlying subobject of the closed weight torus is represented by its defining closed immersion.
On points, the represented split torus is the original diagonal action. The matrix of the
point q of 𝔾ₘ^κ in the basis bL is the matrix of kostantTorusPoints at the coordinate
family of q.
On scheme-valued points, the named weight-torus representation induces the diagonal action
kostantTorusPoints associated to the same basis and weight data.
