Scheme-theoretic root generation of full-weight Geck carriers #
The Geck carrier is defined as the closed subgroup scheme generated jointly by the numbered positive and negative simple-root subgroups and the represented weight torus. This file upgrades universal pointwise generation of the represented torus to equality of the toral and root-generated defining ideals and carriers.
The general results apply to every valid type whose Cartan rows are primitive. The specializations
record E₈, F₄, and G₂, the three exceptional types whose Geck coordinate weights span the
full character lattice and hence whose Geck tori are the full-weight tori used by the
Chevalley--Demazure construction.
Main results #
TauCeti.DynkinType.geckDefiningIdeal_eq_kostantGeneratedDefiningIdeal: primitive Cartan rows make the torus redundant in the Geck defining ideal.TauCeti.DynkinType.geckGroupScheme_eq_kostantGeneratedGroupScheme: the corresponding carrier equality.TauCeti.DynkinType.geckGroupScheme_hom_ext_of_rootSubgroup: under the same hypothesis, a morphism out of the Geck carrier is determined by its restrictions to the numbered root subgroups.- The suffixes
_E8,_F4, and_G2record both equalities, the canonical comparison isomorphism, and this rigidity for the three full-weight Geck carriers.

Generation of the universal Geck torus makes the Geck defining ideal root-generated. It is enough to contain its universal point over the coordinate ring of the split torus itself.
Primitive Cartan rows make the Geck torus scheme-theoretically redundant. The defining Hopf ideal obtained from the numbered root subgroups and the weight torus is already the defining ideal generated by the numbered root subgroups alone.
Generation of the universal Geck torus identifies the Geck and root-generated carriers. The carrier equality is induced by the equality of their defining Hopf ideals.
Primitive Cartan rows identify the Geck carrier with the root-generated Kostant carrier. Thus the represented weight torus adds no scheme-theoretic generator.
Generation of the universal Geck torus makes the canonical comparison from the root-generated Kostant carrier to the Geck toral carrier an isomorphism.
Primitive Cartan rows make the canonical comparison from the root-generated Kostant carrier to the Geck toral carrier an isomorphism.
Generation of the universal Geck torus makes the Geck carrier rigid in its root
subgroups. Two morphisms out of the carrier agree as soon as they agree on its numbered positive
and negative simple-root subgroups; the weight-torus hypothesis of
TauCeti.DynkinType.geckGroupScheme_hom_ext is then redundant.
Primitive Cartan rows make the Geck carrier rigid in its root subgroups. Two morphisms out of the carrier agree as soon as they agree on its numbered positive and negative simple-root subgroups.
