The essential image of diagonalizable coordinate Hopf algebras #

Over a field k, a finite-type commutative Hopf algebra is the coordinate algebra of a diagonalizable group exactly when its group-like elements span the whole carrier. This file identifies that intrinsic object property with the essential image of DiagonalizableGroup.coordinateRingFunctor and packages the resulting equivalence of categories.

The proof reconstructs a group-like-spanned Hopf algebra H from its group of group-like elements. The canonical evaluation map k[GroupLike k H] → H is a bialgebra equivalence: spanning gives surjectivity, while linear independence of group-like elements over a field gives injectivity. Finite type then implies that GroupLike k H is finitely generated. Conversely, the standard basis elements of every group algebra are group-like and span, and this property is invariant under coalgebra equivalence.

All categories and carriers in the equivalence lie in the universe of k. Applying Spec, and the resulting scheme-side anti-equivalence, are outside the scope of this file.
