Base change of the pinned Dynkin-type Lie algebra #

The pinned Lie algebra TauCeti.DynkinType.lieAlgebra is Geck's explicit matrix construction over ℚ. This file extends the underlying pinned root system to an arbitrary characteristic-zero domain K equipped with a rational algebra structure and identifies the resulting Geck Lie algebra with K ⊗[ℚ] TauCeti.DynkinType.lieAlgebra t ht.

The comparison is explicit. Mathlib's matrix scalar-extension equivalence sends every numbered matrix hᵢ, eᵢ, and fᵢ over ℚ to the matrix constructed from the scalar-extended root system over K; because both Lie algebras are generated by those matrices, it restricts to the required Lie equivalence. This makes Mathlib's algebraically-closed-field results about Geck's construction available to descent arguments for the pinned rational carrier.

That descent is the gap the pinned carrier still has. Mathlib proves Geck's Lie algebra semisimple only over an algebraically closed field, while the SimplyConnectedRootDatum/LieAlgebra/Basic.lean module records that ℚ is not one. It therefore leaves semisimplicity of TauCeti.DynkinType.lieAlgebra unclaimed; TauCeti/LinearAlgebra/RootSystem/SimplyConnectedRootDatum/KostantForm.lean inherits the same gap. Taking K to be an algebraic closure of ℚ turns those results into statements about K ⊗[ℚ] TauCeti.DynkinType.lieAlgebra t ht, from which LieModule.traceForm_baseChange carries the nondegenerate Killing form back to ℚ. The Chevalley ℤ-form is a lattice in that Lie algebra, while the Kostant ℤ-form is an integral form in its universal enveloping algebra. Thus this comparison is a prerequisite of the construction rather than a parallel to it: positive characteristic enters only afterwards, when the resulting integral data is base changed along ℤ → k.
