Operations on Reductive Groups

Contents

GetSplitPrimeWithSquare(G) : GrpRed -> RngIntElt
    LowerBound: RngIntElt               Default: 2
Given a reductive group G over Q, returns a prime p where Gp is split, and 2 is a square.

Base change

ChangeRing(G, S) : GrpRed, Rng -> GrpRed
Given a reductive group G with base ring R, together with a ring S, construct the reductive group GS with base ring S obtained by coercing the coefficients of elements of R into S.
