Adjoint quotients of reductive groups

Abstract: Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring k. In this article, we prove that the adjoint quotient adqG is stable under base change. Moreover, if G has a maximal torus T, then the adjoint quotient of the torus T by its Weyl group will be isomorphic to adqG. Then we focus on the semisimple simply connected group G of the constant type. In this case, adqG is isomorphic to the Weil restriction undersetD/speckprodaffD1, where D is the Dynkin scheme of G. Then we prove that for such G, the Steinberg's cross-section can be defined over k if G is quasi-split and without A2m-type components
