Descent of Suzuki fixed points to the finite field #
The Steinberg fixed-point construction of the Suzuki groups lives in a general linear group over
an algebraic closure, whereas the standard generators live over GaloisField 2 (2 * m + 1).
This file proves that the embedding chosen for the generators has exactly the Frobenius-fixed
field as its image. Consequently every Steinberg fixed point has finite-field coordinates for
that same embedding.
The subgroup finiteFixedSubgroup is the exact finite-field preimage of the Steinberg fixed
points. Scalar extension identifies it with the fixed-point subgroup in the ambient general
linear group. Equality with Suzuki.suzukiGroup is the finite-field generation theorem that
identifies the two constructions; it is not asserted here.

The field embedding chosen for the standard Suzuki generators has image exactly the fixed field of the field Frobenius.
An element of the algebraic closure lies in the range of the field embedding used for the Suzuki generators exactly when the field Frobenius fixes it.
Scalar extension after the Suzuki coordinate change has exactly the invertible matrices whose entries are fixed by the field Frobenius.
Every Suzuki Steinberg fixed point in the ambient general linear group has coordinates over the finite field used by the standard generators.

Instances For
Membership in the finite-field preimage is detected by scalar extension to the Suzuki Steinberg fixed-point subgroup.
Over the generator field, a matrix is a Steinberg fixed point exactly when its coordinate
change preserves the alternating form and has special isogeny equal to its entrywise
2^(m+1)-st power.
The standard generated Suzuki group lies in the exact finite-field preimage of the Steinberg fixed points. Equality is the finite-field generation theorem identifying the two constructions.
Scalar extension maps the finite-field preimage onto the full Suzuki Steinberg fixed-point subgroup.
Scalar extension is an isomorphism from the finite-field preimage onto the Suzuki Steinberg fixed-point subgroup in the algebraic-closure model.
Instances For
Descending an ambient fixed point and extending scalars again recovers that fixed point.
