Lang theorem for algebraic groups

ID: lang-theorem-for-algebraic-groups

For a connected smooth algebraic group and a finite-field Frobenius , the Lang map is surjective. One proof uses the twisted action . Since , every orbit map has surjective differential, so each orbit is open; connectedness leaves only one orbit. The same differential calculation makes the Lang map étale, with finite fibres equal to left cosets of .
