Translations of the identity component #
Right translation by a k-rational point induces a homeomorphism of the prime spectrum. This file
proves that a point in the connected component of the counit translates that component onto itself
and preserves its defining idempotent and ideal.

This is the translation prerequisite for Layer 3, "Identity component G° and component group
π₀(G)", of the ReductiveGroups roadmap. The next step uses these automorphisms to prove
that multiplication carries the product of the identity component with itself into the identity
component, giving comultiplication closure of its defining ideal.
