Base change of the matrix points cut out by a Hopf ideal #

A closed subgroup scheme of GLₙ/A is often built over an extension A of k by a Hopf ideal J of O(GLₙ/A) together with an isomorphism identifying the quotient it cuts out with the scalar extension of the quotient by a Hopf ideal I of O(GLₙ/k). The points of such a presented quotient are already the points of the quotient over k on the value algebra with its scalars restricted to k, by CommHopfAlgCat.baseChangeIsoPointsMulEquiv. This file records that this identification preserves the ambient invertible matrix.

The only input is the commuting square relating the two quotient maps through the general-linear coordinate base-change isomorphism. Nothing here chooses either ideal, so any carrier presented this way — in particular an explicit pinned Chevalley carrier and its scalar extension — can instantiate the result below.

Roadmap #

This advances the carrier-independent half of the base-change and points targets in Layer 9 of TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md, whose consumer is milestone L0 of TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md. It identifies no particular carrier with the pinned simply connected group.
