Jul 21, 2012 at 22:08 comment added user22479 @Timo: It is better to say "smooth" rather than "reduced" when working with group schemes of finite type over an algebraically closed (or perfect) field, despite the equivalence, since it is the viewpoint of "smoothness" that works more smoothly (ha-ha) over general fields. If $k$ is imperfect of characteristic $p$ then there are reduced affine $k$-groups of finite type that are not smooth (and so become non-reduced after scalar extension to $\overline{k}$); e.g., the ``norm-1'' subgroup of the (smooth!) Weil restriction of ${\rm{GL}}_1$ through a degree-$p$ inseparable extension $k'/k$.
