Concrete right subgroups for the middle game #
All split and nonsplit semisimple eigenvalues are placed in the common quadratic extension.
For a candidate order d, the right subgroup is the subgroup of d-th roots of unity in that
extension. Candidate divisibility by p - 1 or p + 1 implies that this subgroup has exactly
d elements.
Parabolic traces are deliberately excluded from the representation theorem: their rotation
orders are p or 2 * p, not semisimple torus orders dividing p - 1 or p + 1.
The canonical right subgroup of order d inside the common quadratic extension.

Every element whose multiplicative order is d belongs to the canonical right subgroup.
Candidate divisibility by p - 1 or p + 1 implies divisibility by the order of the
multiplicative group of the quadratic extension.
The canonical right subgroup indexed by a candidate order has exactly that cardinality.
A split eigenvalue of rotation order d, embedded in the quadratic extension, lies in the
canonical right subgroup and has the required reciprocal trace.
A nonsplit norm-one eigenvalue of rotation order d lies in the same canonical quadratic
right subgroup and represents the scalar-extended base-field trace.
Every nonparabolic normalized trace of rotation order d is represented in the canonical
right subgroup. The hypothesis t^2 != 4 is the explicit boundary separating this theorem
from the parabolic orders p and 2 * p.
Complete candidate-order classification. The canonical right subgroup always has exact
cardinality d; a trace of rotation order d is either one of the two parabolic parameters or
is represented by a reciprocal trace in that subgroup.
