Base change of integral nilpotent exponentials #
Let V be an A-module for a ℚ-algebra A, let M ≤ V be an additive subgroup, and suppose
that every divided power of an element x : A preserves M. Restricting those divided powers gives
integral endomorphisms of M. After extension of scalars to any commutative ring R, the finite
sum
E_R(t) = ∑ n, tⁿ (x⁽ⁿ⁾|_M)_R
is therefore defined without dividing by a factorial in R. The divided-power multiplication law
proves E_R(t + u) = E_R(t) E_R(u), so E_R(-t) is its inverse. Consequently the additive group
of every commutative ring acts on R ⊗[ℤ] M by R-linear automorphisms.
This is the base-ring-valued form of a root subgroup action in the Chevalley--Demazure
construction, and an arbitrary-ring analogue of the earlier integer exponential from
TauCeti/RingTheory/Nilpotent/Exp.lean. The new content here is that the integral divided-power
operators make the same family available over every parameter ring, even when the ring has positive
characteristic.

Integral divided-power operators #
The restriction to M of the n-th divided power of x, given that this divided power maps
M into M.
This is an integral linear map: the rational division by n! has already taken place in the
ambient representation, while the preservation hypothesis says that its value lands back in
M.

Instances For
The value of integralDividedPower x M n hM v coerced to V is
Associative.dividedPower n x • v.
The zeroth restricted divided power is the identity.
Multiplication formula for restricted divided powers.
The restricted divided power vanishes for degrees greater than or equal to a nilpotency bound.
Restricting a unit to an invariant additive subgroup #
The restriction to M of the action of a unit of A that preserves M together with its
inverse, as an integral linear automorphism.
Scalar multiplication by a ring element is additive, and an additive map of abelian groups is
exactly a ℤ-linear map, so no divisibility is involved: this automorphism survives base change to
an arbitrary commutative ring.
Equations
Instances For
A unit preserving M together with its inverse also transports the stability of M under
the divided powers of x to stability under the divided powers of the conjugate u x u⁻¹.
Conjugation passes through a divided power, so the conjugated operator acts by u⁻¹, then a
divided power of x, then u, and each of the three maps M into M.
The restriction to M of the exponential exp (t • x) of an integral multiple of a nilpotent
element whose divided powers preserve M.
The coefficients of the divided-power expansion of exp (t • x) are the integers tⁿ, so this
automorphism is defined over ℤ even though the exponential itself divides by factorials.

Instances For
The inverse of the integral exponential is the exponential of the negated element.
Negating the element leaves the even restricted divided powers unchanged.
Negating the element negates the odd restricted divided powers.
The integral exponential expanded over any truncation bound.
The divided-power exponential after base change #
The finite integral divided-power exponential on the scalar extension R ⊗[ℤ] M
for an element x.
Although x acts on a rational vector space, this definition uses only the integral operators on
M and therefore makes sense over an arbitrary commutative parameter ring R.

The base-changed exponential acts on a pure tensor by the expected finite divided-power formula.
The base-changed divided-power exponential is natural under maps of parameter rings carrying
explicit ℤ-algebra structures.
A restricted divided power vanishes on base change above the nilpotency index. If
x ^ k = 0 and k ≤ n, the base change of integralDividedPower x M n is the zero map.
This is the truncation fact every finite expansion of baseChangeExp needs: it is what makes the
terms outside the truncation bound drop out.
The base-changed divided powers vanish from the nilpotency index on. The ∀-form of

hM : ∀ n, ∀ v ∈ M, Associative.dividedPower n x • v ∈ M that baseChangeExp carries, rather than
for one index at a time.
This is the hzero shape that sum_pow_smul_mul_sum_pow_smul and the normal-ordering
combinators consume: each wants the vanishing as one hypothesis about the whole tail, supplied
once per element, before case-splitting on which factor of a reordered product falls outside its
truncation bound.
The base-changed exponential expanded over any truncation bound k satisfying x ^ k = 0.
The base-changed exponential acts on a pure tensor by the divided-power formula over any
truncation bound k satisfying x ^ k = 0.
The base-changed exponential on a pure tensor may be truncated at any power that annihilates
that tensor's module vector. This only requires pointwise nilpotence at v; the separate
IsNilpotent x hypothesis supplies a global bound used to expand baseChangeExp.
The integral divided-power exponential satisfies the additive one-parameter group law over every commutative base ring.
The base-changed divided-power exponential at zero is the identity.
The base-changed divided-power exponential as a linear equivalence, with inverse given by the negative parameter.

Instances For
The linear map underlying baseChangeExpLinearEquiv is baseChangeExp.
Coercing baseChangeExpLinearEquiv to a function yields baseChangeExp.
The inverse of baseChangeExpLinearEquiv is given by the negative parameter.
The additive group of a commutative ring acts on the scalar extension of a divided-power-stable additive subgroup by the integral nilpotent exponential.

Instances For
The linear map underlying the base-changed one-parameter subgroup is the corresponding divided-power exponential.
Evaluating baseChangeExpHom at t yields baseChangeExpLinearEquiv at toAdd t.
Coercing baseChangeExpHom to a function yields baseChangeExp.
The base-changed exponential depends only on the element, not on the stability proof.
Negating the element inverts the parameter: E_{-x}(t) = E_x(-t).
Conjugating the exponential by an integral unit #
At an integer parameter the base-changed exponential is the base change of a single integral
automorphism of M, namely the restriction of exp (t • x).
This is what makes a Chevalley group element defined over ℤ: its value at an integral parameter
does not depend on the ring the points are taken in.
Conjugating a base-changed exponential by an integral unit. If a unit u of A preserves
M together with its inverse, then conjugating the one-parameter subgroup of x by the induced
automorphism of R ⊗[ℤ] M gives the one-parameter subgroup of the conjugate u x u⁻¹.
For the Weyl element n_α and a root vector eα this is Chevalley's relation
n_α x_α(t) n_α⁻¹ = x_{-α}(-t), obtained from the Lie-algebra identity n_α eα n_α⁻¹ = -e_{-α}
alone: conjugation is an algebra automorphism, so it passes through the divided powers.
The base-changed divided-power exponential is natural under every map of parameter rings.
