The group structure on connected components of an affine group #

Let H be the coordinate Hopf algebra of a finite-type affine group over an algebraically closed field. Every connected component of Spec H contains a rational point, and two rational points lie in the same component exactly when they differ by a point of the identity component. Thus the canonical equivalence

H(k) / H⁰(k) ≃ ConnectedComponents (Spec H)

transports the quotient-group structure to the connected components. This file records that structure and its characteristic API: the component of a product is the product of the components, and the component map from rational points is a surjective group homomorphism whose kernel is exactly H⁰(k).

This is the group-theoretic input for representing π₀(H) by the finite constant group scheme on the connected components. The coordinate-algebra comparison additionally needs the orthogonal component-idempotent decomposition.

@[instance_reducible]

The group structure on the connected components of the spectrum of a finite-type affine group. It is characterized by the requirement that the canonical bijection from H(k) / H⁰(k) be multiplicative.

      The rational component map sends a point to the component containing its kernel point.

      @[simp]

      The component containing the identity rational point is the identity of the component group.

      @[simp]

      The component of a product of rational points is the product of their components.

      @[simp]

      The component of the inverse of a rational point is the inverse component.

      Every connected component of the spectrum contains the kernel point of a rational point.

      @[simp]

      A rational point maps to the identity component exactly when it belongs to the rational points of H⁰.

      The kernel of the rational component map is the rational-point subgroup of the identity component.
