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 ๐พโ. 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, Tโปยน]
of commutative Hopf algebras. Thus the abstract center construction has the expected concrete coordinate algebra in the basic reductive example.
