The saturated zero-charge subgroup #
Definition 21.9 of arXiv:1902.08184v4 uses the saturated subgroup generated by all zero-charge classes before passing to the quotient lattice. This file constructs that subgroup for an arbitrary set of classes and proves its universal property. It also descends any charge that vanishes on the generators.
Freeness of the quotient is not inferred merely from the words "lattice": it requires the usual finite-free hypotheses on the original integral group. The declarations here isolate the saturation and descent statements that do not require those additional hypotheses.
A subgroup is saturated when membership of a nonzero natural multiple forces membership of the original element.

Saturation is exactly what makes the additive quotient torsion-free.
