The torus of the Suzuki group #
The standard generators of TauCeti.suzukiGroup m are the lower unitriangular matrices u(a, b)
and the antidiagonal Weyl element w. This file adds the diagonal torus
h(κ) = diag (κ, κ^θ / κ, κ / κ^θ, κ⁻¹), θ = 2^(m+1),
as a homomorphism TauCeti.Suzuki.torus from the multiplicative group of the generator field,
computes its conjugation action on the unipotent generators, and proves that its image lies in
the generated group. The torus is not a generator, so its membership is a computation: the
rank-one Bruhat relation
w u(0, b) w = u(b^(1-θ), b⁻¹) · h(b^θ) · w · u(b^(1-θ), 0) (b ≠ 0)
exhibits h(b^θ) w as a product of generators, and since x ↦ x^θ is a bijection of the finite
generator field every torus element is some h(b^θ). The Bruhat decomposition of the Suzuki group
with respect to the point at infinity, and the identification of the group with the Steinberg
fixed points, consume the torus in TauCeti.GroupTheory.SpecificGroups.CFSG.Suzuki.Generation.

The torus #
The torus matrix of the Suzuki group at the parameter κ, diag (κ, κ^θ / κ, κ / κ^θ, κ⁻¹)
with θ = 2^(m+1). Writing κ = λ^(2^m + 1), which is possible since 2^m + 1 is prime to
2^(2m+1) - 1, this is the usual diagonal matrix diag (λ^(2^m+1), λ^(2^m), λ^(-2^m), λ^(-2^m-1))
of the literature.
Instances For
The torus matrix has determinant one.
The torus matrix at 1 is the identity.
The torus matrices multiply through their parameters.
The torus of the Suzuki group: the homomorphism κ ↦ h(κ) from the multiplicative group
of the generator field into the general linear group, with h(κ) the matrix torusMatrix m κ.
Instances For
The underlying matrix of torus m κ is torusMatrix m κ.
The action of the torus on the unipotent generators #
The torus normalizes the unipotent generators:
h(κ) u(a, b) h(κ)⁻¹ = u(κ^θ κ⁻² a, κ^(-θ) b), with θ = 2^(m+1).
The commutator of a torus element with a unipotent generator is again a unipotent
generator: writing λ = κ^θ κ⁻² and μ = κ^(-θ),
[h(κ), u(a, b)] = u((λ + 1) a, (μ + 1) b + (λ + 1) a^(1+θ)).
The rank-one Bruhat relation and the torus #
The rank-one Bruhat relation of the Suzuki group: conjugating the long-root generator
u(0, b) by the Weyl element lands in the big cell, w u(0, b) w = u' h(b^θ) w u'' with
u' = u(b^(1-θ), b⁻¹) and u'' = u(b^(1-θ), 0).
Every torus element of the Suzuki group is a product of the standard generators: it is
read off the rank-one Bruhat relation at a θ-th root of its parameter.
The Borel subgroup #
The torus normalizes the unipotent subgroup.
The range of the torus normalizes the unipotent subgroup.
The Borel subgroup B = H U of GL₄(𝔽_(2^(2m+1))), the join of the range of the torus and
the unipotent subgroup. Since the torus normalizes the unipotent subgroup, it consists of the
products h(κ) u(a, b) (TauCeti.Suzuki.mem_borelSubgroup).
Instances For
The Borel subgroup consists of the products of a torus element and a standard unipotent generator.
The unipotent subgroup lies in the Borel subgroup.
The Borel subgroup lies in the Suzuki group.
The Borel subgroup normalizes the unipotent subgroup.
The Borel subgroup B = H U, inside the Suzuki group.
Instances For
The Borel subgroup normalizes the unipotent subgroup, inside the Suzuki group.
The conjugates of the unipotent subgroup generate the Suzuki group. The Weyl element is
u(1, 1)⁻¹ (w u(0, 1) w⁻¹) u(1, 0)⁻¹, by the rank-one Bruhat relation at the parameter 1.
