Linear terms of symplectic root subgroups #
Each standard symplectic root subgroup has the form 1 + c X, with X a single
matrix unit for a long root and a signed pair of matrix units for a short root.
RootSubgroupIndex.tangentMatrix records this linear term in paired coordinates.
Its parameter can be recovered from a matrix entry over any commutative ring,
including in characteristic two. These formulas identify the normalized Lie vectors
of the represented root subgroups.
The matrix conventions are those of GLSymplecticFin.RootSubgroupIndex.hom.

The linear term of a standard symplectic root subgroup in paired coordinates. The difference roots have opposite signs in the two diagonal blocks; the sum roots have symmetric entries in an off-diagonal block.

The linear term of a negative long root.
The linear term of a difference root.
The linear term of a positive sum root.
The linear term of a negative sum root.
Entrywise application of an additive homomorphism preserves the linear term. This applies to derivatives of coordinate functions as well as to changes of coefficients.
The parameter of the linear term is recoverable from one of its entries.
The root one-parameter subgroup is the identity plus its linear term. This includes all long and short roots, over every commutative ring.
