Frobenius endomorphism of an algebraic group

ID: frobenius-endomorphism-of-an-algebraic-group

For an algebraic group defined over , its Frobenius morphism acts as entrywise th powers in a standard matrix realization. Its differential is zero, and its fixed-point group is finite. A conjugate defines an isomorphic rational structure. This group morphism must be distinguished from a field Frobenius endomorphism alone and from the convention called geometric Frobenius in Galois theory, which is inverse to the arithmetic generator on field points.
