TITLE: Are group schemes in Char 0 reduced? (YES)
QUESTION [15 upvotes]: A Theorem of Cartier (e.g.  Mumford, Lecture 25) states that every separated, finite type group scheme $G/k$ over a field $k$  of characteristic $0$ is reduced.  Does this result remain valid if we drop the assumption that $G/k$ is separated and of finite type?
Frans Oort (MR0206005) observed that one can use limit formalism to argue that every affine group scheme over $k$ is reduced.
Edit: BCnrd pointed out that group schemes over a field are automatically separated.  Furthermore, the proof of Cartier's Theorem in Mumford's book remains valid for a locally Noetherian $k$-group scheme.

REPLY [12 votes]: The answer is yes - every group scheme over a field of characterstic zero is reduced: see Schémas en groupes quasi-compacts sur un corps et groupes henséliens (especially Thm. 2.4 in part II and Thm. 1.1 and Cor. 3.9 in part V of the 1st part), and for a summary of the relevant results see 4.2 (in particular 4.2.8) of Approximation des schémas en groupes, quasi compacts sur un corps.
