The Frobenius endomorphism of the additive group #

Over a base commutative semiring R of exponential characteristic p, the additive group 𝔾ₐ = Spec R[x] (here x = ι R R 1 in SymmetricAlgebra R R) carries the Frobenius endomorphism F : 𝔾ₐ → 𝔾ₐ, which on every commutative R-algebra A raises a point to its p-th power, a ↦ aᵖ. This is a homomorphism of additive-monoid-valued functors precisely because of the freshman's dream: raising to the p-th power is additive in exponential characteristic p. Contravariantly it is induced by the bialgebra endomorphism of the coordinate bialgebra R[x] sending the primitive generator x to xᵖ (again primitive, Δ(xᵖ) = xᵖ ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ xᵖ).

The exponential-characteristic hypothesis [ExpChar R p] covers both the interesting case of prime characteristic p (where F is the genuine Frobenius) and the degenerate case p = 1 (characteristic zero, where F is the identity), so the API applies verbatim to the Frobenius kernel group scheme αₚ of TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.AdditiveFrobeniusKernel.Basic, where R has prime characteristic p.

The Frobenius power xᵖ is primitive. In exponential characteristic p the comultiplication of xᵖ is xᵖ ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ xᵖ, by the freshman's dream applied to the primitive generator x.

The Frobenius bialgebra endomorphism x ↦ xᵖ of the coordinate bialgebra of 𝔾ₐ. In exponential characteristic p the generator x is primitive, hence so is xᵖ (Δ(xᵖ) = xᵖ ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ xᵖ by the freshman's dream), and the counit still vanishes on xᵖ, so the algebra endomorphism x ↦ xᵖ is a bialgebra endomorphism. It induces the Frobenius endomorphism of 𝔾ₐ on the functor of points.

    The Frobenius endomorphism of 𝔾ₐ, on the functor of points. For every commutative R-algebra A it is the homomorphism of the convolution monoid of points induced (contravariantly) by the Frobenius bialgebra endomorphism x ↦ xᵖ; on points it raises a point to its p-th power, a ↦ aᵖ.

      The Frobenius endomorphism acts as a ↦ aᵖ on points. Reading a 𝔾ₐ-point off on the generator x = ι 1, the Frobenius endomorphism raises the resulting element of A to its p-th power.

      This is not a simp lemma: the @[simp] lemma toAdd_gaPointsMulEquiv already rewrites the left-hand side Multiplicative.toAdd (gaPointsMulEquiv ..), so the statement is not in simp-normal form.

      Naturality in the value algebra. The Frobenius endomorphism of 𝔾ₐ commutes with the value-algebra functoriality AlgHom.mapValue.
