The proposition shows that, for algebraic groups, the notions of irreducibility and connectedness coincide. In the sequel we shall, as is usual, speak of connected algebraic groups, and not of irreducible ones. We always denote by $G^0$ the component of the algebraic group $G$ containing the identity (briefly: the identity component).
