The odd half-Frobenius power of a Suzuki--Ree index #
The Steinberg endomorphism of a Suzuki, Ree or Tits group is not a Frobenius but an odd power of
a half-Frobenius: the exceptional isogeny τ of the pinned ambient group, which squares to the
prime-field Frobenius, raised to the odd exponent 2 * m + 1. This file takes that odd power on
root data, where τ already lives as
TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.datumSpecialIsogeny, and proves the relation the CFSG roadmap requires of
it,
steinberg (m) ^ 2 = Frob_(p ^ (2 * m + 1)).
The exponent is not a new parameter. TauCeti.LieTypeIndex.fieldExponent already writes the field
order of an index as a power of its characteristic, and on all four half-Frobenius branches it is
odd: it is 2 * m + 1 on the three Suzuki--Ree families and 1 on the Tits index, whose Steinberg
map is τ itself. So TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.halfExponent reads off the m those four branches
share, fieldExponent_eq_two_mul_halfExponent_add_one is the odd decomposition, and the Steinberg
map is the fieldExponent-th power throughout. Squaring it then lands on the scaling by
TauCeti.LieTypeIndex.fieldOrder rather than on some separately tabulated field order, which is
the check that the exponent convention of milestone L2 and the numeric data of milestone I0 agree.
The odd power is genuinely a new map and not a rescaled identity: it is a scaling times τ, so it
permutes the roots exactly as τ does, by the length-exchanging permutation
TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.lengthPerm on the numbered simple roots, and merely multiplies the pinned
exponents of τ by p ^ m. The resulting relations on the numbered simple roots and coroots are
recorded below, since a consumer lifting this map to the pinned group scheme states its
conventions against them.
Nothing here is a group. Lifting these isogenies from root data to the pinned Chevalley--Demazure group schemes, and the finite groups cut out as their fixed points, are later work.

The odd-power parameter m of a Suzuki--Ree index: the m in the field order
p ^ (2 * m + 1) recorded by the three Suzuki--Ree families, and 0 on the Tits index, whose
Steinberg map is the half-Frobenius itself.
The four branch equations below name it on each family, so no consumer needs this body.

Instances For
A Suzuki index contributes its own parameter.
A Ree G₂ index contributes its own parameter.
A Ree F₄ index contributes its own parameter.
The Tits index is the m = 0 member of the F₄ half-Frobenius family.
The field exponent of a half-Frobenius index is 2 * m + 1. The Steinberg map is the
fieldExponent-th power of the half-Frobenius, so this is what makes it an odd power.
The field exponent of a half-Frobenius index is odd.
The odd-power parameter vanishes exactly on the Tits index. The three Suzuki--Ree families
start at m = 1: their m = 0 members are the nonsimple ²B₂(2), the likewise nonsimple
²G₂(3), whose derived subgroup is the group the list carries as A₁(8), and ²F₄(2), whose
derived subgroup the list carries under the separate Tits name. So the Tits index is the only
half-Frobenius index whose Steinberg map is the special isogeny itself.
The Steinberg map on the root datum #
The Steinberg map of a Suzuki--Ree index on its pinned simply connected root datum: the
odd power τ ^ (2 * m + 1) of the special isogeny selected by the index, written as its
fieldExponent-th power. On the Tits index the exponent is 1 and the map is τ itself.
Equations
- e.datumSteinberg = e.datumSpecialIsogeny ^ (↑e).fieldExponent
Instances For
The Steinberg map is a scaling times the special isogeny, by p ^ m. Every computation
below is read off this decomposition.
On the Tits index the Steinberg map is the special isogeny of F₄ itself, the m = 0 case of
the odd power.
The square relation #
The square of the Steinberg map is the scaling by the field order of the index. This is the
root-datum form of steinberg (m) ^ 2 = Frob_(p ^ (2 * m + 1)): squaring the odd power of the
half-Frobenius returns the Frobenius of the field the index names, 2 ^ (2 * m + 1) for the Suzuki
and Ree F₄ families, 3 ^ (2 * m + 1) for Ree G₂, and 2 for the Tits index.
The four pieces of data #
The Steinberg map permutes the roots exactly as the special isogeny does, since the scaling separating the two fixes every index.
The rescaling exponents of the Steinberg map are those of the special isogeny multiplied by
p ^ m. At a numbered simple root the exponent of the special isogeny is the squared length of
that node, so this is p ^ m at a short simple root and p ^ (m + 1) at a long one.
The exponent field is indexed by the source of the character map, which is the image node of the
group-scheme isogeny, so this indexing is the one exchanged against the simple-root relation below:
the factor there is TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.exponent i, the squared length of the node paired with
i, and is therefore p ^ m at a long node and p ^ (m + 1) at a short one.
The character map of the Steinberg map is p ^ m times that of the special isogeny.
The cocharacter map of the Steinberg map is p ^ m times that of the special isogeny.
The defining relations on the numbered simple roots #
The relation defining the Steinberg map on the simple roots. The character map carries the
simple root at the length-exchanged node to the simple root at i, rescaled by
p ^ m * TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.exponent i, which is p ^ m at a long node and p ^ (m + 1) at a
short one.
The character map is the pullback along the group-scheme isogeny, so this is the root-datum shadow
of steinberg (x_{α_i}(t)) = x_{α_{σ i}}(t ^ (p ^ m * exponent i)), with the exponent indexed by
i rather than by its image.
The relation defining the Steinberg map on the simple coroots. Dually to
TauCeti.SuzukiReeIndex.datumSteinberg_weightMap_root_simpleIndex, the cocharacter map runs the
other way, so it carries the simple coroot at i to the one at the length-exchanged node, rescaled
by the same factor.
