The tangent Lie algebra of the additive group #
The vector group represented by SymmetricAlgebra R M has B-valued tangent module
M →ₗ[R] B. Concretely, a counit-valued derivation is determined by its values on the
generators SymmetricAlgebra.ι R M x, and every linear assignment of generator values extends
uniquely to such a derivation. AdditiveGroup.tangentLinearEquiv packages this as an R-linear
equivalence. Specializing to M = R gives
AdditiveGroup.gaTangentLinearEquiv, the identification of the tangent module of 𝔾ₐ with
B.
Over commutative rings, the convolution bracket of two tangent derivations is zero. It is enough to calculate on a generator: the generator is primitive, so both convolution products vanish there. Thus the tangent Lie algebra of every additive vector group is abelian.
The inverse tangent construction uses SymmetricAlgebra.mkDerivation: a linear map
f : M →ₗ[R] B extends uniquely from the canonical generators. No choice of basis or finiteness
hypothesis on M is needed.

The tangent module of the additive vector group represented by SymmetricAlgebra R M is
the module M →ₗ[R] B of possible generator values.
The equivalence sends a derivation d to x ↦ d (SymmetricAlgebra.ι R M x), transported from
the counit coefficient synonym back to B. Its inverse sends f : M →ₗ[R] B to the unique
derivation taking each generator to f x.

Instances For
The vector-group tangent equivalence evaluates a derivation on the symmetric-algebra generator.
The inverse vector-group tangent equivalence has the prescribed value on every generator.
The tangent module of the one-dimensional additive group 𝔾ₐ is the value algebra B.
This is the specialization of tangentLinearEquiv to the rank-one coordinate module M = R;
it sends a derivation to its value on the coordinate SymmetricAlgebra.ι R R 1.

Instances For
The 𝔾ₐ tangent equivalence reads a derivation on the coordinate ι(1).
A tangent derivation annihilates every power other than the first of a coordinate generator.
The generator of a vector group is primitive, so its counit vanishes; the Leibniz rule then
leaves the factor ι(x) ^ (k - 1), which acts on the counit coefficient algebra through that
vanishing counit. Only the linear term of a coordinate function survives differentiation at
the identity, which is what makes a differential read off a linear coefficient.
The derivation corresponding to b : B under the 𝔾ₐ tangent equivalence takes the
coordinate ι(1) to b.
The convolution Lie bracket on the tangent space of an additive vector group is zero.
Indeed, every symmetric-algebra generator is primitive. Both convolution products of two counit-valued derivations vanish on primitive elements, and derivations are determined by their values on the generators.
