The subgroup scheme of GLₙ preserving a constant bilinear multiplication #
For a commutative ring R, a natural number n, and a family of constant structure
matrices C : Fin n → Matrix (Fin n) (Fin n) R, read Cₖ as the matrix of left multiplication
by the kth basis vector of Rⁿ, so that the bilinear multiplication is the one with structure
constants eₖ * eⱼ = ∑ᵢ (Cₖ)ᵢⱼ eᵢ. A matrix M is multiplicative for that product exactly when
M Cₖ = (∑ₐ Mₐₖ Cₐ) M
for every k: the left-hand side sends x to M (eₖ * x), the right-hand side sends x to
(M eₖ) * (M x), and linearity in the first argument reduces multiplicativity to the basis
vectors. The entries of the relation matrices X Cₖ − (∑ₐ Xₐₖ Cₐ) X — X the localized generic
matrix of GL n, the Cₐ read in the coordinate Hopf algebra through the structure morphism —
generate a Hopf ideal in the coordinate Hopf algebra of GL n. Its quotient represents the
closed subgroup scheme of GL n preserving the multiplication, whose points over a commutative
R-algebra A are the invertible matrices multiplicative for the transported product.
Nothing is assumed of C: the multiplication is an arbitrary bilinear map Rⁿ × Rⁿ → Rⁿ, not
required to be associative, commutative, alternating, or unital, and the construction includes
n = 0 and the zero ring. Multiplication by a fixed constant matrix, composition algebras, and
Lie brackets are all instances.
The three Hopf-ideal closure conditions are proved by matrix algebra rather than coordinate by
coordinate, from three identities satisfied by the relation matrices f_k(M) := M Cₖ − (∑ₐ Mₐₖ Cₐ) M of an arbitrary matrix M over an arbitrary commutative R-algebra:
f_k(1) = 0, so the counit, which sendsXto the identity matrix, kills every generator;f_k(M N) = M f_k(N) + (∑ₐ Nₐₖ f_a(M)) N, so the comultiplication, which sendsXtoY ZforYandZthe two tensor inclusions ofX, sends a generator into the sum of the right and left tensor ideals of the generators;f_k(N) = −N (∑ₐ Nₐₖ f_a(M)) NwheneverM N = N M = 1, so the antipode, which sendsXto its inverse matrix, sends a generator into the span of the generators.
The middle identity also says that the matrices preserving the multiplication are closed under multiplication, and the last that they are closed under inversion.

Behaviour of the relation matrices under the group operations #
The image structure matrices of a product are recombined from those of the left factor by the column of the right factor.
Left multiplication distributes across the image structure matrix: framing
imageStructureMatrix N k on the left by M frames each structure matrix separately,
M * imageStructureMatrix N k = ∑ₐ Nₐₖ • (M Cₐ), the structure matrices read in the value ring
through its structure morphism.
The relation matrices of a product decompose into the relations of the two factors:
f_k(M N) = M f_k(N) + (∑ₐ Nₐₖ f_a(M)) N.
The relation matrices of an inverse: f_k(N) = −N (∑ₐ Nₐₖ f_a(M)) N whenever M N = 1.
For square matrices over a commutative ring that identity already makes N a two-sided
inverse.
Mapping an image structure matrix through an algebra morphism gives the image structure matrix of the image matrix: the combination is taken with the entries of the matrix, which map along, and the structure matrices are constant.
Mapping a relation matrix through an algebra morphism gives the relation matrix of the image matrix: the structure matrices are constant, so they map to themselves.
The matrices preserving the multiplication #
A product of matrices preserving the multiplication preserves it.
An inverse of a matrix preserving the multiplication preserves it. Only one of the two inverse identities is needed: for square matrices over a commutative ring it implies the other.
Preserving the multiplication is stable under an algebra morphism of value rings.
Structure matrices of an algebra with a basis #
When the structure matrices C k are those of an actual algebra B over S with a basis b,
that is, when C k read in S is the matrix in b of left multiplication by b k, preserving
the multiplication is exactly multiplicativity of the linear endomorphism of B that the matrix
represents in b.
If the structure matrices of a basis b are the C k, then the image structure matrix at
k of the matrix of a linear endomorphism f is the matrix of left multiplication by
f (b k).
Preserving the multiplication is multiplicativity. If the structure matrices of a basis
b of a non-unital, non-associative S-algebra B are the C k, then the matrix in b of a
linear endomorphism f of B preserves the multiplication exactly when f is
multiplicative.
The defining relations over the coordinate Hopf algebra of GLₙ #
An element is a defining relation exactly when it is an entry of a relation matrix of the generic matrix.
The three Hopf-ideal closure conditions #
The defining Hopf ideal and quotient #
The Hopf ideal preserving the multiplication: the ideal of the coordinate Hopf algebra
of GL n generated by the entries of the relation matrices X Cₖ − (∑ₐ Xₐₖ Cₐ) X, with the
three closure conditions extended from the generators across the span.
Equations
Instances For
A coordinate morphism whose generic matrix preserves the multiplication kills the defining
ideal. This is the criterion by which a subgroup of GL n given by generating morphisms is
shown to lie in the subgroup scheme preserving the multiplication: it suffices to evaluate the
relations on the generic matrix of each generator.
The coordinate Hopf algebra of the subgroup scheme of GL n preserving the
multiplication.
Equations

Instances For
The coordinate map is the canonical quotient morphism by the defining Hopf ideal.
Every defining relation vanishes in the quotient coordinate Hopf algebra.
The generic matrix of the quotient preserves the multiplication: transporting the generic
matrix of GL n along the quotient coordinate morphism gives a matrix over the quotient
coordinate Hopf algebra that is multiplicative for the product, since exactly the entries of its
relation matrices were divided out.
The group scheme and its closed immersion #
