Conjugation of GLₙ by a constant matrix, in coordinates #

An invertible matrix P over the base ring R is an R-valued point of GLₙ, so inner conjugation by it is an automorphism of the affine group scheme GLₙ over R, and hence an automorphism of the coordinate Hopf algebra O(GLₙ/R). This file names that coordinate automorphism and records what it does on algebra-valued points: precomposing a point with it conjugates the corresponding invertible matrix by the image of P,

g ↦ P g P⁻¹.

This is the form in which a comparison of two closed subgroup schemes of GLₙ related by a change of basis is stated: a Hopf ideal is carried to another one exactly when the coordinate automorphism carries it there, and on points that is conjugation by the change-of-basis matrix.

    On algebra-valued points, the coordinate automorphism of conjugation by P is conjugation by the image of P.

    Precomposing a point with the coordinate automorphism of conjugation by P conjugates its matrix by the image of P, over a value ring in any universe.
