The center of the general linear group #

For a field k and a positive integer n, this file identifies the center of the general linear group scheme GLโ‚™ with the multiplicative group ๐”พโ‚˜. On points, a unit acts by its scalar matrix. Mathlib's theorem Matrix.GeneralLinearGroup.center_eq_range_scalar supplies the matrix-theoretic classification of the center; universal centrality then upgrades the classification from each individual group of points to the represented center.

The natural pointwise equivalence and full faithfulness of the Hopf-algebra functor of points give an isomorphism

  k[GLโ‚™] / I(Z(GLโ‚™)) โ‰… k[T, Tโปยน]

of commutative Hopf algebras. Thus the abstract center construction has the expected concrete coordinate algebra in the basic reductive example.

    Under the standard point equivalences, scalarTorusPoints is the usual scalar-matrix homomorphism.

    Under the multiplicative point equivalences, a scalar-torus point is the corresponding scalar matrix.

    The scalar-matrix construction is natural in the value algebra.

    Scalar multiplication is injective in positive rank, stated on the represented point groups.

    Scalar points are universally central over any commutative base ring.

    Every scalar point is a point of the represented center of GLโ‚™.

      The underlying value of scalarTorusCenterHom is the scalar-matrix point.

      In positive rank, scalar matrices give every universally central point of GLโ‚™.

      A general-linear point is universally central exactly when it is a scalar point.

      Under the standard equivalence between GLโ‚™-points and invertible matrices, the represented center maps onto the ordinary group-theoretic center.

      For every value algebra, scalar matrices identify the multiplicative group with the represented center of GLโ‚™.

              Applying the functor of points to centerCoordinateLaurentIso recovers the scalar-matrix natural isomorphism used to construct it.
