Here G is considered as an algebraic group defined over F . The Lie algebra g may be identified with Mn(F ), with Lie bracket [X,Y ] = XY − Y X . The group T is isomorphic to the algebraic torus Gm, T (F ) is isomorphic to (F), and the Lie algebra t is isomorphic to F. The character group X(T ) is the lattice of algebraic homomorphisms T → Gm, the cocharacter group that of algebraic homomorphis...
