A unipotent algebraic group is built from unipotent elements. A unipotent algebraic group is an affine algebraic group all of whose elements are unipotent. The Kolchin theorem embeds it into an upper unitriangular group.
The derived subgroup is the closed algebraic subgroup generated by the commutators . If is connected, images of finite products of commutators are connected and their closures stabilize by dimension, which shows that is connected.

This is the multiplicative Jordan–Chevalley decomposition in a linear algebraic group. Every element of an affine algebraic group has unique commuting semisimple and unipotent parts such that . The construction agrees with the multiplicative Jordan decomposition in every rational representation.
An element of an affine algebraic group is unipotent when its image in one, equivalently every, faithful finite-dimensional representation has every eigenvalue equal to one.
An element of an affine algebraic group is semisimple when its image in one, equivalently every, faithful finite-dimensional representation is a diagonalizable linear map.

Every affine algebraic group has a faithful finite-dimensional rational group representation. Choose algebra generators of and place them in a finite-dimensional subspace stable under right translations. An element acting trivially on that subspace has the same coordinate values as the identity and therefore is the identity.
The colimit form of the Special adjoint functor theorem says that a colimit-preserving functor from a locally small, cocomplete, well-copowered category with a small generating family to a locally small category has a right adjoint.
The right Kan extension along is the right adjoint to precomposition by between suitable functor categories.
This is the right-adjoint form of Kan extension; left Kan extension is its left-adjoint counterpart.
For , the unit and counit are the natural transformations corresponding to identity morphisms under the adjunction. They satisfy and .
A dusty radiation-pressure-driven shell is swept up when ultraviolet radiation from an active nucleus is absorbed by dust and reradiated in the infrared. Single scattering supplies up to roughly of momentum flux, while trapped infrared photons can enhance it by the infrared optical depth.
This is the action component of action-angle variables, rather than the entire coordinate construction.
A finite group acting freely by diffeomorphisms on a smooth manifold has a smooth quotient. Choose each coordinate neighbourhood disjoint from all its nontrivial translates and transport its chart through the quotient map. The resulting transition maps are restrictions of the original transition maps composed with group elements.
