Representability of the component group #
Let H be the coordinate Hopf algebra of a finite-type affine group over an algebraically closed
field. This file identifies the fppf quotient H / H⁰ with the fppf points sheaf of the finite
constant group of connected components of Spec H.
The key point is stronger than local surjectivity. Every point of the constant component group
over a test algebra lifts to a point of H: its orthogonal idempotents split the test algebra into
components, and on each component one uses a chosen rational point of the corresponding connected
component of Spec H. The kernel calculation for the component coordinate morphism then identifies
the pointwise quotient with the constant-group points. Sheafifying this natural isomorphism gives
the desired representability.
