The q-Frobenius on the points of a group scheme over ๐ฝ_q #
Let K be a finite field with q elements and let H be a Hopf algebra over K, the
coordinate algebra of an affine group scheme Gโ over K. No splitting, โค-model or
reductivity is assumed: H is an arbitrary K-form. For a commutative K-algebra A, the
q ^ n-Frobenius acts on the convolution group of A-valued points WithConv (H โโ[K] A) by
post-composition with the K-algebra endomorphism x โฆ x ^ q ^ n of A
(TauCeti.FiniteField.frobeniusPoints).
When H is commutative, the q-power map on the functions of Gโ is the bialgebra
endomorphism TauCeti.frobeniusBialgHom K H, the Frobenius endomorphism of Gโ defined by its
๐ฝ_q-structure, and the q-Frobenius on points is pre-composition with it. For A = k an
algebraic closure of ๐ฝ_q, reading the k-points of G = Gโ ร_{๐ฝ_q} k as the k-valued points
of H, this is the geometric Frobenius F of G. On the coordinate algebra k โ[K] H of the
base change it is the scalar extension id โ Frob of the q-power map
(TauCeti.FiniteField.geometricFrobeniusBialgHom), which is not the q-power map of k โ[K] H
since that is not k-linear; under G(R) โ Hom_K(H, R) it becomes the q-Frobenius on points.
The fixed points of the Frobenius are the points valued in the Frobenius-fixed subalgebra of A
(TauCeti.FiniteField.frobeniusFixedPointsMulEquiv). When A is a domain, for instance a field
extension of K, the points fixed by the q-Frobenius are exactly the K-rational points:
G^F โ Gโ(K) (TauCeti.FiniteField.rationalPointsMulEquiv). If moreover H is of finite type,
the points fixed by every positive iterate F ^ n form a finite group
(TauCeti.FiniteField.finite_fixedSubgroup_frobeniusPoints). All of this is natural in the
coordinate algebra, so it applies to every morphism of group schemes over K and in particular
to the inclusion of a closed subgroup scheme, whose coordinate algebra is again of finite type.

The q ^ n-Frobenius on the convolution monoid of A-valued points of a bialgebra H over a
finite field K with q elements. It post-composes a point with the K-algebra endomorphism
x โฆ x ^ q ^ n of A.
Instances For
The q ^ n-Frobenius raises every value of a point to the q ^ n-th power.
A point is fixed by the q ^ n-Frobenius exactly when each of its values is.
The Frobenius on points is natural in the coordinate bialgebra: it commutes with the map on
points induced by any bialgebra morphism, that is, with every morphism of group schemes over
K.
The Frobenius on points is natural in the value algebra.
The Frobenius endomorphism of a commutative bialgebra #
The Frobenius on points is the map induced by the Frobenius endomorphism: for a
commutative bialgebra H over K, raising the values of a point to the q-th power is the
same as pre-composing it with the q-power map TauCeti.frobeniusBialgHom K H of H, the
Frobenius endomorphism of Spec H defined by its K-structure.
Frobenius-fixed points #
The points valued in the Frobenius-fixed subalgebra of A are exactly the Frobenius-fixed
points.
The Frobenius-fixed points are the points over the Frobenius-fixed subalgebra. For
A an algebraic closure of ๐ฝ_q and 0 < n the subalgebra is ๐ฝ_{q ^ n}, so the points fixed
by F ^ n are the ๐ฝ_{q ^ n}-points.
Instances For
The isomorphism onto the Frobenius-fixed points reads a point over the fixed subalgebra as an
A-valued point.
The inverse isomorphism keeps the values of a Frobenius-fixed point.
The q-Frobenius-fixed points are the K-rational points. For a Hopf algebra H over
the finite field K = ๐ฝ_q, the coordinate algebra of an arbitrary ๐ฝ_q-form Gโ, and a domain
L over K such as an algebraic closure of ๐ฝ_q, the points fixed by the Frobenius F are the
image of the K-points: G^F โ Gโ(๐ฝ_q).
Instances For
The identification of the K-points with the Frobenius-fixed points composes a K-point
with the structure map K โ L.
The inverse identification sends a Frobenius-fixed point to the K-point whose values map to
its values under the structure map K โ L.
The identification of the Frobenius-fixed points with the K-points is natural in the
group scheme: a morphism ฯ of group schemes over K acts compatibly on K-points and on
Frobenius-fixed L-points.
A morphism of group schemes over K carries Frobenius-fixed points to Frobenius-fixed
points.
Finiteness of the Frobenius-fixed points. For a Hopf algebra H of finite type over K
and a domain A over K, the points fixed by a positive iterate of the Frobenius form a finite
group: they are the points over the finite Frobenius-fixed subalgebra. In particular G^F is
finite for every affine group scheme Gโ of finite type over ๐ฝ_q, and so is the group of
rational points of each of its closed subgroup schemes.
Frobenius-fixed points of a closed subgroup scheme. For a surjective bialgebra morphism
ฯ : H โ Hโ, cutting out a closed subgroup scheme of Spec H, the points of that subgroup fixed
by its own Frobenius are exactly its points that are fixed in the ambient group.
The geometric Frobenius of a base change #
The geometric Frobenius of the base change Spec (k โ[K] H) of an affine monoid scheme over
a finite field K: the scalar extension id โ Frob of the q-power bialgebra endomorphism of
H.
Instances For
On pure tensors, the geometric Frobenius raises the second factor to its q-th power.
Base change identifies the geometric Frobenius with the q-Frobenius on points. Under
G(R) โ Hom_K(H, R), the map on points induced by the geometric Frobenius of k โ[K] H is
frobeniusPoints K 1.
Naturality of the geometric Frobenius #
The geometric Frobenius is natural: it commutes with the scalar extension
id โ ฯ : k โ[K] H โ k โ[K] Hโ of every bialgebra morphism ฯ over K, that is, with the base
change of every morphism of monoid schemes over K.
The map on points induced by the base change of a bialgebra morphism ฯ over K commutes
with the maps on points induced by the geometric Frobenius.
The base change of a morphism of group schemes over K carries points fixed by the
geometric Frobenius to points fixed by the geometric Frobenius.
Geometric-Frobenius-fixed points of a closed subgroup scheme. For a surjective bialgebra
morphism ฯ : H โ Hโ, cutting out a closed subgroup scheme of Spec H over K, the points of its
base change fixed by its own geometric Frobenius are exactly its points that are fixed by the
geometric Frobenius of the ambient group.
Gโ(K) โ G^F. The K-rational points of H are isomorphic to the points of the base
change k โ[K] H over a domain k fixed by the geometric Frobenius. The isomorphism sends a
rational point g to s โ h โฆ s * g h.
Instances For
The isomorphism rationalPointsMulEquivFixedSubgroupGeometricFrobenius is the base change of
rational points.
The inverse isomorphism G^F โ Gโ(K) sends a fixed point g to the rational point whose
value at h maps to g (1 โ h) under the structure map K โ k.
The isomorphism Gโ(K) โ G^F is natural in the coordinate Hopf algebra: for a morphism
ฯ : H โ Hโ, the induced map on rational points corresponds to the map on Frobenius-fixed points
induced by the scalar extension of ฯ.
The fixed points of the geometric Frobenius form a finite group when the coordinate algebra is of finite type.
Comparison with a model over โค #
For a model over โค, the q-Frobenius is the iterated prime-power Frobenius. If
q = p ^ n, then under (K โ H)(A) โ Hom_โค(H, A) the q ^ m-Frobenius of the base change
K โ[โค] H is iterateFrobeniusPoints p (n * m).
