Functoriality of the derived subgroup #
A homomorphism of affine group schemes carries commutators to commutators, and therefore
restricts to a homomorphism of their derived closed subgroup schemes. In coordinate Hopf
algebras, a morphism f : H ⟶ K sends the ideal defining the derived subgroup of Spec H
into the ideal defining the derived subgroup of Spec K. It consequently induces a morphism
H / derivedDefiningIdeal H ⟶ K / derivedDefiningIdeal K.
Using the naturality of the commutator coordinate morphism, this file constructs the induced
quotient morphism and packages its identity and composition laws as an endofunctor on commutative
Hopf algebras. Applying Spec reverses this map to the expected restriction between derived
subgroup schemes.

A morphism of commutative Hopf algebras sends the derived defining ideal into the derived defining ideal of its target. Contravariantly, a group-scheme homomorphism sends the source derived subgroup into the target derived subgroup.
An isomorphism of commutative Hopf algebras preserves the derived defining ideal.
The coordinate morphism induced by a homomorphism on the coordinate algebras of the derived
subgroups. After applying Spec, this is the restriction of the original group-scheme
homomorphism to the derived subgroup schemes.

Instances For
On quotient classes, the induced derived-coordinate map applies the ambient morphism before taking the target quotient class.
The induced map on derived coordinate algebras commutes with the ambient quotient maps. This is the coordinate square expressing that the derived-subgroup map restricts the original map.
The map induced on derived coordinate algebras by the identity is the identity.
Maps induced on derived coordinate algebras respect composition.
Taking the coordinate algebra of the derived subgroup is an endofunctor on commutative Hopf algebras. On affine group schemes, composition with the contravariant spectrum functor gives the covariant derived-subgroup construction.

The derived-coordinate functor acts on objects by quotienting by the derived defining ideal.
The derived-coordinate functor acts on morphisms by the induced quotient morphism.
The quotient morphisms from an ambient coordinate Hopf algebra to its derived-subgroup coordinate algebra form a natural transformation. After applying the contravariant spectrum functor, this is the natural closed immersion of the derived subgroup into the ambient group.
